The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2025 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2025.

The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2025, with 6 people signed in online: 3 in support and 3 in opposition. The committee held a work session on April 29, 2025. The committee met in executive session on April 29, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1689h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
