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 29, 2008. The committee held a work session on February 12, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0529h). The committee's amendment (0529h) 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. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2008 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 17, 2008 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Foster. On April 24, 2008 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Burling. A floor amendment (1498), offered by Sen.
