It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 23, 2000. The committee held a work session on March 8, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 16–1. On March 30, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 6, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 1, 2000.
