The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2005. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on June 30, 2005, September 29, 2005 and October 27, 2005. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 9–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 18, 2006 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
