It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 9, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it.
