It was introduced on January 9, 2020 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2020. The committee met in executive session on January 29, 2020 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2020-0194h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2020-0194h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 13, 2020, changing the text of the bill. On February 13, 2020 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 11, 2020 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. On June 16, 2020 the Senate adopted “Vacated from Committee and Laid on Table” on a voice vote.
