The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 4, 2003. The committee held work sessions on March 6, 2003 and March 19, 2003. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 20, 2003, June 17, 2003, September 30, 2003 and November 13, 2003. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, by a vote of 10–7. On January 15, 2004 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
