It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 28, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on April 23, 2013, April 25, 2013, April 30, 2013 and September 19, 2013. The committee met in executive session on October 30, 2013 to vote on its recommendation.
