SB 126-RIGHT OF ACTION FOR LEGAL SEPARATION
CHAIRMAN THERRIAULT introduced the L Lauterbach 3/19/01 version of
the proposed CS for SB 126. He reminded committee members that they
had discussed a requirement for the court system to report
information to the Division of Vital Statistics (DVS) during a
previous meeting. Sections 5 and 6 on page 6 adds language dealing
with reporting. Information is supplied to the DVS and they are
directed to submit a report to the legislature by January 15, 2005
on whether they think the statutes need to be modified or how the
information relating to legal separations should be organized.
He asked whether Senator Wilken, the bill sponsor, had looked over
the new language.
KARA MORIARTY, staff for Senator Wilken, said there were no
objections to the new sections.
CHAIRMAN THERRIAULT said that legal counsel recommended changes to
make it clear that separation actions that were initiated prior to
passage of the bill would be reported.
MS. MORIARTY said the Legislative Legal drafter suggested adding
the applicability language found on page 5, lines 30 and 31. In
the original bill there was language for an effective date for the
complaint for legal separation but not for the order for legal
separation to be effective. Added is, "and orders of legal
separation issued on or after the effective date of this Act."
SENATOR PEARCE moved the L version as the working document.
CHAIRMAN THERRIAULT asked for amendments. There were none.
He noted there was a zero fiscal note from the Attorney General's
Office. He asked for the will of the committee.
SENATOR PEARCE moved CSSB 126 (STA) and zero fiscal note from
committee with individual recommendations.
CHAIRMAN THERRIAULT asked whether there was objection.
SENATOR PHILLIPS objected.
CHAIRMAN THERRIAULT called for a roll call.
Senators Davis, Pearce and Chairman Therriault voted yea and
Senator Phillips voted nay.
CSSB 126(STA) moved from committee with individual recommendations.
