The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Education Funding committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2025, with 252 people signed in online: 243 in support and 9 in opposition. The committee held a work session on February 11, 2025. The committee met in executive session on February 18, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0314h), by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 6, 2025 the House adopted “Lay HB583 on Table” on a roll call 196–174, on a motion by Rep. Jason Osborne. The bill died on the table when the session ended on December 17, 2025, having been set aside and never taken back up.
