It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 10, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 17, 2010 and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2010. The committee met in executive session on April 13, 2010 and April 15, 2010. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 28, 2010 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 12, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 23, 2010, making it Chapter 370 of the session laws.
