It was introduced on January 7, 1998 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 1998. The committee held work sessions on January 27, 1998 and February 4, 1998. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 5, 1998 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 5, 1998 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee.
