The committee held a work session on February 14, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 14, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on February 21, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0443h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0443h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 8, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 8, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 11, 2017 the Senate voted to send it back to committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On January 3, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0153s). The committee's amendment (2018-0153s) was adopted on a roll call 14–9 on February 1, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On February 1, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On March 21, 2018 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 0153s and Requests CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. John Hunt. On May 2, 2018 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Daniel Innis. A committee of conference met on May 14, 2018 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 23, 2018 the Senate adopted the conference report (2018-1980c) on a voice vote. On May 23, 2018 the House adopted the conference report (1980c) on a voice vote.
