The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2022.

On February 3, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2022. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2022 on a proposed non-germane amendment (1675h).

The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1755h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
