The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Education Policy and Administration committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Education Funding committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2025, with 10 people signed in online: 7 in support, 2 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on February 11, 2025 and March 12, 2025. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 23, 2025 and October 28, 2025. The committee met in executive session on November 13, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee recommended that the House kill it. On January 7, 2026 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
