The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 4, 2003. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 16, 2003 and September 23, 2003. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 13–4. On January 15, 2004 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
