February 19th - 2013 Regular Legislative Session Day 37

House Bill 1934, concerning "Grandparents Visitation" was moved out of Committee this morning. This bill is a direct attack on parental rights by allowing outside parties to challenge parenting decisions in court. Rep. Matt Shea proposed an amendment that would have solved the problem and made the bill constitutional. Unfortunately, while one Democrat, Rep. Steve Kirby, joined the Republicans in voting for the amendment, Republican Rep. Mike Hope changed his vote to a no, voting with the Democrat majority, killing the amendment, and thus opening the door to the destruction of parental rights in Washington.
