It was introduced on March 4, 1999 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 4, 1999.

On May 25, 1999 the bill was referred to the Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held work sessions on September 7, 1999 and September 14, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0. On January 6, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
