It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held public hearings on February 16, 2007 and March 8, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year.
