It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 15, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0431h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 22, 2023 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 22, 2023 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2023.
