A roundup of legislative and Capitol news items of interest for Wednesday, Feb. 8:

CAYLEE’S LAW: Republican House members have introduced a so-called “Caylee’s Law,” HF 2253, that would make it a felony for a parent to fail to report a missing child within 24 hours if the child is found dead or dies shortly after being found from injuries suffered while missing. The bill stems from the case of Caylee Anthony, a Florida 2-year-old who authorities say died in the summer of 2008 but was not found until December 2008. Her mother, Casey Anthony, was found not guilty in May 2011. The bill would create a responsibility for parents to report a missing child to law enforcement within 24 hours of the child’s disappearance

Panel opts not to pass 'Caylee's law'
February 23, 2012

DES MOINES -- A legislative panel on Wednesday rejected a proposal requiring parents to report their missing children, making Iowa the latest state to have a so-called Caylee's law stall.

Lawmakers on the panel opposed the measure out of concern it was too broad. It would require parents to know their children were safe in any 24-hour period.

At least 17 states have introduced similar bills in response to the Casey Anthony case. The Florida woman was charged and ultimately acquitted of murder in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. Anthony didn't report her daughter missing for a month, and it took six months for the child's body to be found in woods near her grandparents' home in Orlando.

Rep. Jeff Kaufmann, who co-sponsored the Iowa bill, acknowledged the measure needs more work. "We clearly are moving too fast on this," said Kaufmann, R-Wilton.

By not approving the bill, the panel made it likely the proposal will be dropped for this session.

Rich Williams, a policy associate with the National Conference of State Legislature's Criminal Justice Program, said New Jersey is the only state of those 17 considering measures to have approved a law.
