The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0699h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 27, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
