On March 6, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 6, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 13, 2003 and was referred to the House Fish and Game committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2003.
