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 5, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0306s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0306s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On February 14, 2019 the Senate failed “Rerefer” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. On February 14, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes 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 April 18, 2019 and April 30, 2019. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1611h). The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1478h) by a vote of 13–7, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1478h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 8, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 211–135. On June 13, 2019 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Kahn. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 17, 2019, making it Chapter 252 of the session laws. It took effect on July 17, 2019.
