On February 19, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 19, 2004 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2004. The committee held work sessions on March 31, 2004 and April 6, 2004.
