The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Education Policy and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 24, 2026, with 248 people signed in online: 247 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2026-0878h), 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 (2026-0878h) was adopted on a roll call 183–151 on March 11, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2026 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 180–156. It crossed to the Senate on March 12, 2026 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2026. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 7, 2026 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
