The minority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1433h) by a vote of 11–9, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-1433h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 26, 2018, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2018-1726h), offered by Rep. D.
