It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 4, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 13, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 13, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 13, 2003 and was referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2003. The committee held a work session on April 30, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0.
