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 13, 1998. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 12, 1998 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on February 12, 1998 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 1998.
