The Senate Judiciary has tabled HB 9, the Domestic Partnerships bill, by a 6-4 vote.
Supporters of the bill, including Senate Judiciary Chairman Cisco McSorley realized they didn't have the votes. He's been holding up the Judiciary Committee for days, apparently in hopes of being able to squeak this through.
I suppose supporters could "blast" the bill out to the Senate floor. But it's questionable whether there's the votes to pass it. Last year a similar bill was killed by just one vote in the Senate.
Heterosexual sexual couples can relax now. Your marriages will no longer be threatened by gay couples getting equal rights. At least until next session.
