The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 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 13, 2003, June 3, 2003 and June 17, 2003. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 15–2. On January 15, 2004 the House voted to kill it on a roll call 268–74.
