The committee held work sessions on September 14, 2023, September 15, 2023, September 21, 2023, September 22, 2023, September 29, 2023, October 5, 2023, October 6, 2023, October 12, 2023, October 19, 2023, October 20, 2023, November 2, 2023, November 3, 2023, November 8, 2023 and November 14, 2023. The committee met in executive session on November 15, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-2465h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-2465h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 3, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On January 3, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 13, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1538s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1538s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.

The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 12, 2024, making it Chapter 181 of the session laws.
