The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 4, 2025. The committee voted 2–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2025-1373s), offered by Sen. Suzanne Prentiss, was rejected on a voice vote on March 27, 2025. On March 27, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 27, 2025 and was referred to the House Education Policy and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2025, with 753 people signed in online: 91 in support and 662 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on May 20, 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 met in executive session on November 5, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–2 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 7, 2026 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
