It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held public hearings on March 24, 1999 and March 31, 1999.

It crossed to the House on April 15, 1999 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 18, 1999.
