It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2004.

On February 12, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 12, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 2004. The committee held a work session on March 10, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
