It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 5, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 12, 2004 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it.
