It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2007. The committee held work sessions on February 8, 2007, February 13, 2007 and February 16, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 6, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0254h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
