It was introduced on January 7, 1999 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 1999. The committee held work sessions on March 11, 1999, March 30, 1999 and April 6, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–3, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 22, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 29, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Banks committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 12, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 18, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
