It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2016. The committee held a work session on February 18, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 9, 2016 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 10, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it.
