Just like the one before, the second controversial education bill, HB 262 as amended in the Senate, has won final passage in the House with absolutely no debate. House Education Chairman Bob Nonini, R-Coeur d’Alene, urged a yes vote. The vote was 46-20. This is the bill that previously phased out the early teacher retirement incentive program, but that was removed by the Senate amendments. Still in the bill is a one-year freeze in movement on the teacher salary grid for experience. The bill now goes to the governor.
The House then went at ease for what’s estimated to be about 45 minutes, awaiting the next bills upon which it’ll act.
