The committee met in executive session on March 14, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on June 14, 2007, June 28, 2007, August 22, 2007, August 29, 2007, September 5, 2007, September 12, 2007, September 19, 2007, September 26, 2007, October 3, 2007, October 10, 2007, October 17, 2007, October 24, 2007 and November 5, 2007. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2008 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
