The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2003. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 18, 2003. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes, by a vote of 11–6. On January 15, 2004 the House adopted “Special Ordered to Jan 22” on a voice vote. On January 22, 2004 the House voted to kill it on a roll call 212–140.
