It was introduced on February 17, 2010 and referred to the Senate Election Law and Veterans' Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 17, 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 18, 2010 and was referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2010. The committee met in executive session on April 8, 2010 to vote on its recommendation.
