The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2024, with 3 people signed in online: 2 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee held a work session on March 11, 2024. The committee met in executive session on March 13, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1125h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1125h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1949s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1949s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 22, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 22, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 29, 2024 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2024-1949s and Requests CofC (Reps. Ladd, Cordelli, Peternel, Myler)” on a voice vote. On May 30, 2024 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Ruth Ward. A committee of conference met on June 4, 2024 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2024-2236c) on a voice vote. On June 13, 2024 the House adopted the conference report (2024-2236c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
