It was introduced on February 15, 2001 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2001. The committee held a work session on April 3, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 18, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on May 1, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 16, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 12, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
