The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0345h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0345h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 8, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On February 8, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.

It crossed to the Senate on March 22, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 12, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1842s). On May 2, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/03/2018, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1842s). On May 3, 2018 the Senate adopted “Without Objection, Rule 3-17 is Suspended to Allow Non-Germane Amendment #2018-1842s ; 2/3 Necessary”. The committee's amendment (2018-1842s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 3, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On May 3, 2018 the Senate took up 7 floor amendments. It adopted 2018-1905s (Sen.

On May 10, 2018 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. A committee of conference met on May 15, 2018, May 16, 2018 and May 17, 2018 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
