The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0688h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0688h) 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. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 24, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
