Re: 2008 Legislature

1. Dead - no bill can be safely called "dead" until the session ends. While the crime bill itself is technically dead, the contents of that bill can sometimes be moved to another bill still making it through the process.

2. Defective Dates - If you go through many bills you will notice effective dates are like for 2025, 2050, 2190 or some other number way off in the future. This is done intentionally during the process to further comment on the legislation as it makes its way through committee. Once the committee decides they like the bill, they may put in the true effective date, usually July 1, 2008, January 1, 2009 or somewhere closer. In many cases this does not happen until conference committee.

Re: 2008 Legislature

Mel, thanks for the explanation. I have to say I was kind of shocked seeing that date - kind of made the bill seem pointless. I'm glad to know the date would be changed.

Re: 2008 Legislature

One after another we went up in support of SB 2141. Many submitted written testimonies. Then a LT of HPD came forward to testify against SB 2141.

We listened as Rep. Karl Rhoads asked him questions.

Shaking our heads in disbelief of his arrogance and stupid answers.

The man had no shame.

What a disgrace to HPD.
