It was introduced on January 6, 1999 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 10, 1999 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on February 11, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 18, 1999.
