It was introduced on January 5, 2011 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 1, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 9, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 16, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 30, 2011 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Barnes.
