The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 4, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 25, 2021 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 7, 2021 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 7, 2021 the House failed “Reconsider” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Jason Osborne. On April 22, 2021 the Senate adopted “Enrolled RC 24Y-0N”. The bill was enrolled on April 29, 2021 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 6, 2021, making it Chapter 28 of the session laws.
