It was introduced on January 8, 2020 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2020. The committee held work sessions on February 12, 2020 and February 25, 2020. The committee met in executive session on March 4, 2020 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 2020-0827h) by a vote of 12–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar.
