It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2026, with 36 people signed in online: 34 in support and 2 in opposition. The committee held work sessions on February 2, 2026, February 9, 2026, February 18, 2026 and March 2, 2026. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2026-0889h), by a vote of 15–3.
