The committee held a work session on January 29, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 28, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on March 5, 2013. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2013 and March 7, 2013. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0612h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0612h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.

The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-1947s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1947s) was adopted on a voice vote on June 6, 2013, changing the text of the bill.
