Note that HB367 and HB368 do not at present have a "fiscal note" attached. If an FN is added, it seems that the bill would have to be reported out of the Ed Comm by Feb 19; if no FN, it would have to be reported by March 19 and acted on in full House by March 26. April 9 would be deadline for full House action if an FN gets attached.
