It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 2023. The committee met in executive session on March 15, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 22, 2023 the House adopted “Lay HB586 on Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Connie Lane.
