The committee held a work session on February 2, 2016. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0388h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-0388h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 10, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On February 10, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 10, 2016 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 1, 2016. The committee held a work session on March 15, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 15, 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 23, 2016 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1438s). The committee's amendment (1438s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 28, 2016, changing the text of the bill.

The governor signed it on June 21, 2016, making it Chapter 289 of the session laws.
