The committee met in executive session on January 22, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2026-0167h), 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 (2026-0167h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 5, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On February 5, 2026 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 189–164. It crossed to the Senate on February 5, 2026 and was referred to the Senate Education committee.
