The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Education and Workforce Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0647s). The committee's amendment (2019-0647s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 20, 2019 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2019. The committee met in executive session on May 7, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 12–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 23, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 224–146. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on July 10, 2019. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On September 19, 2019 the Senate voted 14–10 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
