It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2014. The committee met in executive session on January 21, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0116h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0116h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 6, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On February 6, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1613s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
