The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2022. The committee met in executive session on January 25, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0201h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (2022-0201h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the Senate on February 24, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1834s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-1834s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 12, 2022 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Rick Ladd. The bill was enrolled on May 26, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2022-2103e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. An enrolled bill amendment (2022-2103) was considered. These correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 24, 2022, making it Chapter 259 of the session laws.
