The committee held a public hearing on March 21, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 29, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 23–1 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 5, 2007 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2007. The committee held work sessions on May 1, 2007 and May 8, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 9, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1520h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 16, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 16, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 214–135.
