It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2022. The committee met in executive session on January 11, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0597h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 16, 2022 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee's amendment (2022-0597h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. The committee held work sessions on March 14, 2022 and March 21, 2022. The committee met in executive session on March 23, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 21–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 31, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 13, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1563s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
