It was introduced on February 11, 1999 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 9, 1999. The committee held a work session on March 17, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2) unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 14, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 20, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 3, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 6, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
