It crossed to the House on March 15, 2018 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 4, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 9–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
