It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2008. The committee held work sessions on February 5, 2008, February 12, 2008 and February 19, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0719h). The committee's amendment (0719h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 5, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 5, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
