It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2013 and February 19, 2013. The committee voted 13–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0397h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0397h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it.
