House committee endorses adding nondiscrimination statement to child custody statute

Here is one comment submitted to the committee in support of the bill:
I support HB 88 to ensure that mothers and fathers get equal consideration during custody proceedings. The courts should listen to both sides equally and not discriminate on More..

As the article says, this should be a no-brainer. Seems like the law shouldn't even be necessary, because common sense should prevail. But maybe the bias of some judges requires a law like this.

how refereshing to have the Utah leg. take up a common sense bill instead of just tilting at windmills.
