02:58 PM -- House Joint Resolution 06-1030

Representative Stafford, prime sponsor of HJR 06-1030, explained why she introduced the resolution, which establishes an 8-member legislative interim committee, along with a 10-member advisory board, to study specific issues related to domestic violence offenders. She stated that the Legislative Council chose not to prioritize any interim committees for 2006. Accordingly, she requested that the committee hear from the witnesses on the need to study issues related to domestic violence offenders, and asked that the committee then postpone the resolution indefinitely.

The following people testified on the resolution:

03:02 PM -- Ms. Elise Hudson, representing herself, spoke in support of the resolution and cited her experience with law enforcement. She suggested that persons who have been charged as domestic violence offenders be included on any advisory board that is formed.

03:04 PM -- Ms. Sheryle Hutter, representing herself and the Equal Justice Foundation, spoke in support of the resolution on behalf of her son, who was a victim of false domestic violence allegations.

03:09 PM -- Ms. LaRae Musselman, representing herself and the Equal Justice Foundation, spoke in support of the resolution. She responded to questions from the committee.
