Chair called the Senate Education Committee to order, outlined the agenda and noted the committee would list every bill referred for members to run; announced a joint meeting later to consider lottery revenue bills.
The Senate Education Committee met to consider multiple bills referred to the committee, including a limit on state-funded buyouts of superintendent contracts, changes to school board election terms, a mandate to increase scholarship lottery payouts, and a proposal to require financial-literacy modules at public colleges. Several bills were amended or debated; three bills were put to committee votes, with the superintendent buyout limit and a higher-education financial-education bill approved by voice vote and the lottery payout mandate defeated after testimony for and against.
