It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2012.

The committee's amendment (0675s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On February 15, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
