It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 9, 2024, with 4 people signed in online: 3 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 6, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 10–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 7, 2024 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a division vote 174–191. On March 7, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 30, 2024. The committee voted 3–2 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1972s).
