The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0546h) by a vote of 14–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0546h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 27, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On February 27, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 216–126.
