The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0441h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0441h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
