    Bill Summary

    ON MARCH 6, 2014, THE HOUSE ADOPTED AMENDMENTS #1 AND 2 AND HELD HOUSE BILL 1295 ON THE DESK. AMENDMENT #1 rewrites this bill to provide that a woman may be prosecuted for an assaultive offense for the illegal use of a narcotic drug while pregnant, if her child is born addicted to or harmed by the narcotic drug and the addiction or harm is a result of her illegal use of a narcotic drug taken while pregnant. It is an affirmative defense to a prosecution permitted by this amendment that the woman actively enrolled in an addiction recovery program before the child is born, remained in the program after delivery, and successfully completed the program, regardless of whether the child was born addicted to or harmed by the narcotic drug. The provisions of this amendment will cease to be effective on June 30, 2014. AMENDMENT #2 changes the termination date of this bill from June 30, 2014, to June 30, 2016. ON MARCH 31, 2014, THE SENATE ADOPTED AMENDMENT #1 AND RESET SENATE BILL 1391, AS AMENDED. AMENDMENT #1 makes the same changes as those described above for House Amendments #1 and #2, except that it limits the bill to prosecution for assault, instead of any assaultive offense and clarifies that the bill will cease to be effective after June 30, 2016. ON APRIL 7, 2014, THE SENATE FURTHER CONSIDERED SENATE BILL 1391, AS AMENDED BY AMENDMENTS #1 AND #2, AND PASSED SENATE BILL 1391, AS AMENDED.
