It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2005. The committee held a work session on March 15, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 30, 2005. On April 6, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 7, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 24, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On June 9, 2005 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a roll call 11–13. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. The bill died on the table when the session ended on January 4, 2006, having been set aside and never taken back up.
