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 5, 1998 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 19, 1998 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 1998. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes.
