On February 17, 2000 the Senate adopted “Rule 24” on a voice vote. The Senate referred the bill to the Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3562). On March 9, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 9, 2000 and was referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2000.
