The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Education Funding committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2026, with 31 people signed in online: 31 in support. The committee met in executive session on February 17, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 5, 2026 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 5, 2026 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 17, 2026. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2026-1402s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2026-1402s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 16, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On April 16, 2026 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
