It was introduced on January 8, 2025 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2025, with 7 people signed in online: 4 in support, 2 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee held a work session on January 22, 2025. The committee met in executive session on January 30, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0080h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0080h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 20, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On February 20, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 6, 2025 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 29, 2025.
