It was introduced on January 9, 1997 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 1997. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 3, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
