The committee met in executive session on January 21, 2025 to vote on its recommendation.

On February 6, 2025 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on March 5, 2025. The committee met in executive session on March 17, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 25–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0781h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0781h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 10, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On April 10, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 6, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1962s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 15, 2025. The committee's amendment (2025-1962s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2025, changing the text of the bill.
