An Act To Retain the Position of Parent Coordinator in the Judicial Branch - LD47 has died

Just in case you thought it was not true - here is the time line and links to the state website:

Senate Docket
Jun 3, 2013    Accepted Report    ACCEPTED REPORT MAJ (ONTP) REP - PREVAILS

House Docket
May 21, 2013    Accepted Report    ACCEPTED REPORT MAJ (ONTP) REP - PREVAILS

Committee
May 20, 2013    Reported Out    ONTP/OTP-AM

This bill and the role of Parental Coordinator has been defeated. The role of Parental Coordinator will die out on Jan 1, 2014. If you consider what we were up against - Established and seasoned Representatives and Senators, Guardians ad litem and members of the divorce industry. They have power, money and influence and yet we were able to overcome this obstacle.
