It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 2000. The committee held a work session on January 20, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
