The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2022. The committee met in executive session on March 7, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0933h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0933h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 5, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 12, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 27, 2022, making it Chapter 116 of the session laws.
