The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2025 and referred to the House Education Funding committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2025, with 95 people signed in online: 89 in support and 6 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 9, 2025, September 23, 2025 and October 28, 2025. The committee met in executive session on November 13, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-3082h), 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 (2025-3082h) was adopted on a roll call 196–151 on January 7, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On January 7, 2026 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 195–155. On January 7, 2026 the bill was referred to the Finance committee, whose chair waived the referral under House Rule 47(f). It crossed to the Senate on January 7, 2026 and was referred to the Senate Education Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2026. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, to recommend that the Senate kill it. On March 5, 2026 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
