The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2025 and referred to the House Education Policy and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2025, with 425 people signed in online: 8 in support and 417 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on March 10, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0912h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0912h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 26, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On March 26, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 198–139. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2025 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2025. The committee voted 4–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1731s). On May 1, 2025 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/15/2025, Without Objection”. The committee voted 4–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1731s). The committee's amendment (2025-1731s) was rejected on a roll call 9–14 on May 15, 2025. On May 15, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 12, 2025 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 7, 2025, making it Chapter 151 of the session laws.
