This just in: Maryland's Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee voted down SB238 in a vote late Thursday night. This means the Senate bill is dead for another year.

Activists are now turning their attention to a House bill in Maryland with "a ferociously dedicated bill sponsor in Delegate Sue Hecht."

"So while we lost the first round of battle, the war wages on," reads a recent email.

Focus now is on the House Judiciary Committee leaders in Maryland, to gauge their interest in bringing forward Delegate Hecht's bill in its current form or to revise the bill.

"We still have House Bill 556," said Frank Dingle of Maryland's Child's Victim's Voice.

You Rock, Maryland, don't stop.
