The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety 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 9, 2003 and November 13, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 7, 2004 the House voted to kill it.
