It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 23, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 20, 2005.
