It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2024, with 4 people signed in online: 3 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee held work sessions on February 14, 2024 and March 6, 2024. The committee met in executive session on March 13, 2024 and March 20, 2024. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1243h), and the minority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, by a vote of 16–1. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1243h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2024. The committee voted 3–2 to recommend that the Senate pass it. On May 22, 2024 the Senate voted to lay it on the table, on a motion by Sen. Kevin Avard. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on October 10, 2024, having been set aside and never taken back up.
