It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 8, 2004. The committee held work sessions on February 4, 2004, February 17, 2004 and February 18, 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 March 11, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2004 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1332). The committee's amendment (1332) was adopted on a voice vote on April 29, 2004, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1425), offered by Sen.
