The committee held a work session on February 9, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 9, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0692h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0692h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On February 15, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 15, 2012 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 2012. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 17–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The minority of the committee reported: Refer to Interim Study. On March 29, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1870s). The committee's amendment (1870s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.

On May 23, 2012 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Rausch. A committee of conference met on May 29, 2012 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2400c) on a voice vote. The House adopted the conference report (2400c) on a division vote 260–18. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
