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 19, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On March 7, 2019 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 8, 2020 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 01/30/2020, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On January 30, 2020 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 02/06/2020, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On February 6, 2020 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the end of the regular calendar, Without Objection”, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On February 6, 2020 the Senate failed “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2020-0004s), offered by Sen. Kahn, was adopted on a voice vote on February 6, 2020, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2020-0540s), offered by Sen. Giuda, was rejected on a roll call 10–13 on February 6, 2020. On February 6, 2020 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 February 20, 2020 and was referred to the House Education committee.
