House Bill 455 is the current Alimony Bill under consideration. It passed the Civil Justice Subcommittee by a vote of 9-4, and then was passed to the Judiciary Committee. An amendment was added yesterday (not a substantive amendment). A vote will be upcoming in the Judiciary committee shortly (not yet scheduled), and if it passes then the full House will vote thereafter. A separate Senate Bill (substantially similar) is currently pending Senate committee votes. Once the full Senate approves that bill, the two bills will be reconciled (if necessary) and then the full legislature will vote on the reconciled bill. If that passes then the Bill is sent to the Governor for signature or possible veto.
If passed in its present form, the Alimony bill will take effect on October 1, 2016.
