It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2000. The committee held work sessions on February 8, 2000 and February 10, 2000. 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. On February 24, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it.
