The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0994s). The committee's amendment (2018-0994s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 8, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 8, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2018. The committee held a work session on March 28, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 3, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1286h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
