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 February 3, 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 voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-2450h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-2450h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 3, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On January 3, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 2, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 14, 2024, making it Chapter 44 of the session laws.
