We are pleased
to announce that yesterday (4/3/03) the House Judiciary Committee
adopted a House Committee Substitute for HB 500 and voted it out
with a "Do Pass" recommendation. The language of the committee
substitute bill is effectively the same as that of the original
bill, and would allow people who are deaf, blind, or speech impaired
to serve on petit and grand juries with the use of auxiliary aids
and services. Advocates who want this bill enacted into law should
now contact their local representative and ask him or her to vote in
favor of HCS HB 500 when it comes to the House floor for a vote.
