Below you will find legislation introduced or passed in the 2005 Arkansas Legislative Session that deals with family issues. First there is a list of the bills under a subject and the bill's sponsor/sponsors. Following is the voting record on all these different bills by all legislators in the Senate and the House (bills that didn't pass may have been voted on in only one House.) AFA does not advocate the election or defeat of any candidate, and does not endorse any political party. The Scorecard is for informational purposes for citizens who do not have the time or the resources to research this information. The votes do not fall along party lines, and the information is helpful both for those who agree or disagree with AFA's evaluation.

Abortion & Pro-Life Bills
1. HB 1033 by Rep. Jeremy Hutchinson & Sen. Critcher of Little Rock: Requires parental consent before performing an abortion on a minor. - PASSED
2. HB2782 by Rep. Joyce Elliott of Little Rock: Would have forced doctors, hospitals and all health clinics to inform and provide the "morning-after pill," a drug that in some cases works as an abortifacient to women who have been raped. The bill provided no conscience clause to opt out. DID NOT PASS
3. SB74 by Sen. Shawn Womack of Mountain Home: Before performing an abortion past the 20th week, doctors must advise the mother that unborn babies feel pain. PASSED
Marriage Protection, Homosexuality, Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)
4. SJR 17 by Sen. Sue Madison of Fayetteville: Would have made Arkansas the 36th state to ratify the federal Equal Rights Amendment. DID NOT PASS
5. HB1119 by Rep Adams and Senator Holt. Would have prevented unmarried couples (including homosexuals) from adopting children or being foster parents. DID NOT PASS
6. HB1136 by Rep Ragland. Would have required marriage in all Arkansas Textbooks to be defined
as being between male and female. DID NOT PASS
Religious Liberty
7. HR 1005 by Rep. Blair: Purportedly reaffirmed the concept of separation of church and state. DID NOT PASS
8. HB1488 by Rep. Glidewell: Authorized the "IN God We Trust" License Plate. PASSED
9. HB2971 by Rep. Pritchard: Would have prohibited interference with student-led and student-initiated prayers at public school functions within the state of Arkansas. DID NOT PASS
Immigration - Illegal Aliens
[Family Bills Because of Priority. Illegal aliens often receive better insurance and medical care the minute they step into our country than people who have worked here all their lives receive. The monetary and safety cost to citizens is astronomical. Thirty-three percent of all incarcerations (combining state, local, and federal) in the US are illegal aliens. The cost for one federal prisoner is $25,000 to $50,000 per year according to which study you use.]
10. HB 1525 by Rep. Elliott: Would have provided state-funded college scholarships and/or in-state tuition to the children of illegal aliens. DID NOT PASS
11. HB1012 by Jeremy Hutchinson: An act to authorize enforcement of federal immigration laws by certain police officers. PASSED
12. SCR9 by Bisbee (Republican Senator Bisbee first sponsored this and then took his name off as sponsor, and it was sponsored by Senate Ed. Committee: Resolution to encourage Congress and the President to create an expedited naturalization process for undocumented minors and to exempt the minors from prosecution when the minors come forward for naturalization. PASSED
Consolidation
[Family issue because many children would have to have longer bus rides -up to 4 1/2 hour round trips. Students in at least 36 schools in Arkansas ride at least 3 hours a day and several ride longer than that. Parents would have to start their days earlier in the morning, and some students already catch the bus in the dark and get off in the dark. Students would not be able to participate in extracurricular activities and parents would not be able to attend events at the school, and there would be a lot less involvement of parents in decision making.]
13. SB 132 by Senator Ruth Whitaker: Would have created countywide school districts. DID NOT PASS
14. HB1289 by Rep. Thompson: Allowed a school district to close an isolated school area following an annexation or consolidation. (Rep. Ragland told the House that the closure of one financially troubled school in his district would require students to be bused 62 miles to another school.) PASSED
Alcohol
15. HB 1768 by Rep Key: Allows the detention and arrest of minors who try to purchase alcohol with a false I.D. PASSED Now Act 1535
16. SB1174 by Senator Terry Smith and Rep. Ledbetter - Would have allowed public drinking of alcohol in entertainment districts. DID NOT PASS - It passed but was vetoed by the Governor
Gambling
17. SB999 by B. Johnson: Allows cities or counties by local
option election to authorize additional forms of electronic games of skill
at horse racing or greyhound racing parks in their communities.
PASSED 18. HJR
1004 by Rep. Buddy Blair of Fort Smith: A proposed state
constitutional amendment to establish a state lottery.

House Vote Only
This didn't get one vote in the Senate Ed Com. after it overwhelmingly passed the House. Even the Senate co-sponsors did not vote for it. See article below the vote. Also see other article about the House vote on it and compare the two. That will tell you something about the difference in Senate Ed and House Ed. Committee - and term limits. Senators stay there longer and are more liberal than the House.

Excerpts from Two Articles
(10)
Senate and House Vote
Senate Vote - HB1525
Elliott
DID NOT PASS
[Voting Record on HB 1525 on two different occasions by the Senate and one by the House follows:. The big fight over this was in the Senate (which is unusual on a bill like this). Joyce Elliott sort of slipped this through the House. She had the committee room packed with supporters, and no one was really prepared to speak against it. I don't think it would have ever gone through the House had there been time for legislators to seriously consider it. Some representatives thought of recalling it from the House even.]

House Education Vote on SB 132
I had to call Mark Hudson, House Com Legislative Research to get these. Evidently they don't go on record any other way. Just like the amendments do not go on record any other way if they are not first adopted.
They needed 11 to pass. This was the second time it was brought up and they had 9 to 9. Joyce Elliot would have been ten. I was told by legislators that she voted, but on the records it shows her as not voting because it would still not have given them the 11 votes they needed. To bring it up a 3rd time they would have had to have 14 (2/3 of entire committee, not just the quorum, to pass) I was told by two representatives on the last vote that if Blount had been there, it would have passed. This vote was not in their records - at least they did not send it to me. Also on this vote Elliott called it passed but 4 or 5 of the Com members yelled roll call, and we prevailed.
