It was introduced on January 5, 2011 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 3, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0034h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0034h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On February 15, 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2011.
