The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1422h), and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1425h), by a vote of 17–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1422h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 22, 2006, changing the text of the bill. The committee minority's amendment (1425h) was rejected on a roll call 76–264 on March 22, 2006. On March 22, 2006 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a voice vote.
