It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Education Policy and Administration committee.

The committee met in executive session on February 3, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 13, 2025 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On February 13, 2025 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on February 24, 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 2025-0589h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0589h) 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 Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1968s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 15, 2025. On May 15, 2025 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/22/2025, Without Objection”. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1968s).
