It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2000. The committee held work sessions on January 26, 2000 and January 31, 2000. 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.
