The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 29, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 29, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held public hearings on May 20, 1999 and June 3, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it.
