It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2025, with 104 people signed in online: 103 in support and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on February 10, 2025 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 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar.
