It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 28, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0366h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0366h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 15, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
