The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 18, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 22, 2024 and was referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2024, with 5 people signed in online: 3 in support, 1 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on April 9, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1410h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1410h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 30, 2024 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Ruth Ward. 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 26, 2024, making it Chapter 281 of the session laws. It took effect on September 24, 2024.
