It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2025, with 5 people signed in online: 4 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee held work sessions on March 3, 2025 and March 10, 2025. The committee met in executive session on March 10, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0823h), by a vote of 10–8.
