On April 12, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 18–6 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 2, 2007. The committee held a work session on May 29, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 29, 2007 to vote on its recommendation.
