Where it stands
Senate: VETO OVERRIDDEN
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Committee — OUGHT TO PASS
This bill would require public schools to get a parent or guardian’s permission before a student is questioned at school by attorneys, law enforcement, or other outside individuals, and it gives adult students the choice to have their parents notified and present. The goal of this bill is to make sure parents are involved when important or serious conversations happen with their children. This would protect students, respect parental rights, and help families stay informed and involved, while also giving schools clear rules to follow and building trust between parents and schools. Vote 16-1.
