It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Commerce, Labor and Consumer Protection committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2009.

It crossed to the House on March 11, 2009 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2009.
