The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0184h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 21, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On February 21, 2007 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote.
