The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0874). The committee's amendment (0874) was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On March 27, 2003 the Senate failed “Recommit” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Larsen. On March 27, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 27, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2003. The committee held a work session on April 15, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 8, 2003 the House voted to kill it.
