It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2010. The committee held work sessions on February 8, 2010, February 9, 2010 and February 16, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0561h). The committee's amendment (0561h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 3, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On March 3, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
