It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held public hearings on March 4, 2003 and March 10, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 20, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 3, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1387). The committee's amendment (1387) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2003, changing the text of the bill.
