It was introduced on January 9, 1997 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 4, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 12, 1997 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 1997 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 1997. The committee voted 5–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 22, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 28, 1997 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote.
