The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2024, with 526 people signed in online: 470 in support and 56 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on January 30, 2024, January 31, 2024, February 7, 2024 and February 20, 2024. The committee recommended, on a tied vote of 10–10, which carries no majority, that the House make no recommendation, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 14, 2024 the House rejected a motion to kill it and bar the subject for the rest of the term on a roll call 185–190, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. On March 14, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 194–180. On March 14, 2024 the House failed “Reconsider HB1311” on a roll call 183–192, on a motion by Rep. Lucy Weber. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held public hearings on April 30, 2024 and May 7, 2024. The committee voted 3–2 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1945s). The committee's amendment (2024-1945s) 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 30, 2024 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2024-1945s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Rick Ladd.
