It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 17, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0362h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0362h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 4, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 4, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 5, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 30, 2015 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Little. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on September 16, 2015, having been set aside and never taken back up.
