On March 16, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 16, 2023 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2023. The committee met in executive session on May 3, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-1402h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
