The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2023 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2023. The committee met in executive session on January 31, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 30, 2023, October 5, 2023, October 18, 2023 and October 31, 2023. The committee met in executive session on November 13, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. 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 January 3, 2024 the House adopted “Lay HB147 on Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Myler. On March 21, 2024 the House adopted “Remove from Table” on a roll call 190–185, on a motion by Rep. Kristin Noble. A floor amendment (2024-1272h), offered by Rep. Kristin Noble, was adopted on a division vote 191–183 on March 21, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 192–183. On March 21, 2024 the House failed “Reconsider HB147” on a division vote 182–194, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 2, 2024 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/16/2024, Without Objection”. On May 15, 2024 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/16/2024, Without Objection”. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends. On May 16, 2024 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. On May 16, 2024 the Senate adopted “Reconsider the vote on Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On May 16, 2024 the Senate failed “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2024-1804s), offered by Sen. Donovan Fenton, was rejected on a voice vote on May 16, 2024. On May 16, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 3, 2024, making it Chapter 96 of the session laws.
