It was introduced on January 6, 1999 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 1999. The committee held a work session on February 11, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
