The committee held a work session on February 17, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 11, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote.
