The bill, H. 183, had a questionable future when the Committee last discussed it on Friday. Lawmakers were frustrated with the language in the House proposal. That frustration was not well-received by the bill’s House supporters. But a second effort, and some inspiration from a state thousands of miles away, have revived the bill’s prospects for passage as the session wanes. Over the weekend, legislative counsel Michele Childs and Washington County State’s Attorney Rory Thibault worked on updating the bill with consent language adopted from Oklahoma’s criminal statute.
