It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the House Fish and Game committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2001. The committee held work sessions on January 23, 2001, January 30, 2001 and February 1, 2001. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 9–8.
