It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2005. The committee held work sessions on March 10, 2005, March 15, 2005, March 17, 2005 and March 21, 2005.

It crossed to the Senate on January 4, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Environment and Wildlife committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 2006.
