THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE IN THE CHAIR Explanation of Vote for Sequence Number 718

Since I was blessed by my constituents to be a member of this great Florida THE SPEAKER IN THE CHAIR House of Representatives in 1998, I have been a steadfast proponent of

parental notification. Unfortunately, today I voted against HJR 1 that would The question recurred on the passage of HJR 1. The vote was: allow a vote to enact a constitutional mandate to enact parental notification in

this State. In concept and in substance I agree with this resolution, however Session Vote Sequence: 718 the proposed amendment lacks judicial bypass to protect the privacy rights of

children that legitimately are in danger or are victims of incest or abuse. This Speaker Byrd in the Chair. in my mind is a fatal flaw in this piece of legislation and as a result I

reluctantly cannot support this bill in this form. I want to reaffirm my support Yeas—93 of parental notification. It is my belief that we will see this bill again from the

Senate and that such judicial bypass language will be included. I will support Adams Bilirakis Davis, D. Green it at that time. Should it pass in its present form I would expect to support the Allen Bogdanoff Davis, M. Harrell implementing bill if it is similar to the bill we passed and I voted for in 1999.

pregnancies bring at least one parent with them. It is the other 10% of minors Rep. Zapata: that I am worried about. Very simply, this bill does not provide adequate safeguards for minors pregnant as a result of rape or incest, or minors with Yeas—March 9: 705 health or life-threatening risks. Children in other states have been killed by abusive families without these protections, and I refuse to support a bill that Cosponsors could lead to similar consequences in Florida. I truly believe that decisions involving families and their doctors should not involve government, and that HJR 1—Baker, Hasner, Stargel is why I cannot support this bill.

Rep. Arthenia L. Joyner HB 23—Henriquez, Homan District 59 HM 25—Henriquez Explanation of Vote for Sequence Number 718 HB 31—Arza In prior legislation I did support the notification to parents in the instance of a minor seeking an abortion. Under that legislation, we provided an opportunity HB 33—Pickens for a minor who became pregnant as a result of rape or incest to seek a judge's waiver from notification. It also provided that life-threatening health issues HB 39—Joyner for the minor could justify immediate medical attention based on a doctor's medical opinion. Without these safeguards for the minor in place, I cannot HJR 41—Henriquez support this amendment. It is my belief that passage of this amendment could endanger the welfare and possibly the life of a minor. It should be noted that HB 43—Arza 90% of young minors who seek to end an unwanted pregnancy do seek the advice and counsel of their parents and are supported by their parents in their HB 53—Roberson decision. Parents should continue to play this important role in the lives of their children. Our role as legislators should be to provide a safety net for HB 55—Planas those minors who cannot consult their parents for fear of consequences more detrimental than the ending of the pregnancy which may be a result of incest HB 59—Henriquez or rape. HB 61—Harper Rep. Suzanne M. Kosmas

District 28 HB 77—Roberson Explanation of Vote for Sequence Number 718 HB 87—Arza, Henriquez I believe that the decision to bring a child into this world should involve family members, parents and doctors. In 1999, I supported legislation HB 89—Zapata requiring parental notification when a minor seeks an abortion. Under that legislation, we provided an opportunity for a minor who became pregnant as a HB 91—Henriquez result of rape or incest to seek a judge’s waiver from notification. It also provided that a minor’s life-threatening health issues certified by a doctor HB 95—Henriquez could justify immediate medical attention. Unfortunately, this bill does not provide these necessary safeguards. It’s important to note that 90% of minors HB 99—Zapata under the age of sixteen who seek to terminate their pregnancies bring at least one parent with them. Children in other states have been killed by abusive HB 101—Zapata families without these protections. I refuse to support a bill that could lead to similar consequences in Florida. HB 103—Zapata Rep. Doug Wiles District 20 HB 105—Zapata

So the joint resolution passed, as amended, by the required constitutional HB 113—Planas, Zapata three-fifths vote of the membership. On motion by Rep. Murman, the rules were waived and the bill was immediately certified to the Senate after HB 119—Arza, Henriquez, Planas engrossment. HB 127—Brown, Henriquez Motion to Adjourn HB 129—Zapata Rep.
