It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2011. The committee held a work session on February 1, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 1, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0139h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0139h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 9, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On February 9, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 16, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 4, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
