It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2005.

On March 10, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 10, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it.
