====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== JOINT LEGISLATIVE UPDATE - April 15, 2008 From: Roy Hanson's Child and Family Protection Association and HSLDA ***** ***** ***** ***** Bill: AB 2943 - Spanking Prohibition Author: Assembly Member Sally Lieber Position: Strongly Opposed Status: Passed the Assembly Public Safety Committee yesterday (April 15). Assigned to Assembly Appropriations Committee (hearing date to be set). ***** ***** ***** ***** AB 2943 is identical to the final version of Lieber's AB 755, which was defeated in January. AB 2943 would have the practical effect of making criminals out of loving parents who spank with an implement (i.e. inanimate object, such as a small paddle or ruler) in California. The result could be jail time for parents and temporary or permanent loss of their children. Before AB 2943 (Lieber - D) can become law, it will have to get majority votes by the: (1) Assembly Appropriations Committee (2) Assembly Floor Vote (entire Assembly) (3) Senate Policy Committee(s) (4) Senate Appropriations Committee (5) Senate Floor Vote (entire Senate) (6) Governor signs the bill We will continue to do everything we can to stop this bill at each step of the way. We are already implementing additional strategies for this next committee hearing. Let us continue to pray and do our part. We will let you know when the next appropriate time is for more phone calls and let you know who the committee members are before the next hearing. Letters to your own Assembly Member continue to be appropriate. (You can find your Assembly Member's Capitol address and fax number by entering your 9-digit ZIP code in HSLDA's Legislative Tool Box at http://www.capwiz.com/hslda , or by calling the office in your county that handles voter registration.)
