The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2023 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0401s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0401s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 9, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On February 9, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 9, 2023 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the beginning of the Regular Calendar, Without Objection”. On March 9, 2023 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass on a voice vote, but its third reading was left pending. On March 9, 2023 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. James Gray. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on October 26, 2023, having been set aside and never taken back up.
