The committee held work sessions on April 14, 2011, May 10, 2011, June 28, 2011, August 30, 2011, September 20, 2011 and October 4, 2011.

The committee met in executive session on October 27, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2765h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2765h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 4, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On January 4, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held public hearings on March 8, 2012 and March 22, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 28, 2012 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
