On February 22, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 17–7 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 28, 2007 and was referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2007. The committee held a work session on May 2, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2007 to vote on its recommendation.
