The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2020 and referred to the Senate Education and Workforce Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2020. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 13, 2020 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it. A floor amendment (2020-0621s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was adopted on a roll call 24–0 on February 13, 2020, changing the text of the bill. On February 13, 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.
