06/23/2003 The 2003 Regular Session of the legislature adjourned. Thankfully, HB 935 is dead.

Oppose. While we agree that grandparents need help in maintaining relationships with grandchildren who have been separated from their extended family by divorce, this bill would have subsidized grandparents who attack their own children.
