It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0590s). The committee's amendment (2019-0590s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 20, 2019 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2019. The committee held a work session on April 25, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 25, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1673h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1673h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 8, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
