The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0743h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0743h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 13, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On March 13, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2025 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held public hearings on April 1, 2025 and April 8, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1622s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-1622s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 1, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On May 1, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee voted unanimously, 8–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-2076s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
