It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 2004. The committee held a work session on January 21, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 29, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 12, 2004 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 1, 2004 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote.
