The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 30, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 20, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1214). The committee's amendment (1214) was adopted on a voice vote on April 28, 2005, changing the text of the bill.
