HB 257 had been introduced in the house on June 5, 2007 by Rep. Schneider and been sent to the house committee on Commerce and Labor where it had languished for nearly a year. On April 9th, Schneider introduced a substitute bill which was subsequently amended and passed the house on May 6th and moved on to the Senate.
