The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Education Funding committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2025, with 60 people signed in online: 52 in support and 8 in opposition. The committee held work sessions on February 12, 2025 and February 25, 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 16, 2025 and September 30, 2025. The committee met in executive session on November 13, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 7, 2026 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee met in executive session on October 6, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. On October 16, 2026 the committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Not Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 9 to 6.
