The committee met in executive session on March 8, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0939h) by a vote of 18–2, and the report was placed on the regular calendar.
