It was introduced on January 19, 2011 and referred to the Senate Commerce 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 pass it on a roll call 19–5 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 31, 2011 and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2011. The committee met in executive session on May 10, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 13–3. The report was placed on the regular calendar.
