It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2010. The committee met in executive session on January 28, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0430h). The committee's amendment (0430h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 17, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On February 17, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 3, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 2010.
