The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Education committee. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0537h), and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0960h), by a vote of 12–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-0537h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 8, 2021, changing the text of the bill. The committee minority's amendment (2021-0960h) was rejected on a division vote 171–205 on April 8, 2021. On April 8, 2021 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 8, 2021 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-1396s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-1396s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 20, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On May 20, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 10, 2021 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2021-1396s” on a division vote 204–158, on a motion by Rep. Rick Ladd. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2021 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 23, 2021, making it Chapter 139 of the session laws.
