It was introduced on January 2, 2019 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2019.

The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0199h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0199h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On February 14, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
