It was introduced on January 31, 2007 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 2007. The committee held a work session on March 15, 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. The committee held work sessions on September 5, 2007 and October 18, 2007.
