The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 4, 2006 the House adopted “Special Order to beginning of Reg Cal for Jan 18”. The committee's amendment (0228h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 18, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On January 18, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes. On January 18, 2006 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2006.

The majority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 14–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar.
