The majority recommended that the House pass it (amendment 0895h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–5. On March 18, 2008 the House adopted “Special Ordered to Mar 19” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0895h) was adopted on a roll call 210–114 on March 19, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 19, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 219–107.
