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 March 1, 2023. The committee held a work session on March 8, 2023. The committee met in executive session on March 8, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0940h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0940h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 22, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 22, 2023 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
