On March 13, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee voted unanimously, 7–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On March 27, 2025 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass on a voice vote, but its third reading was left pending.
