The Story
It was introduced on January 30, 2025 and referred to the Senate Education Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 13, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 27, 2025 and was referred to the House Education Funding committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2025, with 10 people signed in online: 6 in support and 4 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on May 1, 2025 and May 2, 2025. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 22, 2025 the House adopted “Lay SB294 on Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. David Luneau. The bill died on the table when the session ended on December 17, 2025, having been set aside and never taken back up.
