House Assistant Minority Leader Elfreda Higgins, D-Garden City, said 10 minutes ago, House State Affairs Chairman Tom Loertscher, R-Iona, came to her office and told her that tomorrow morning's hearing on the pre-abortion ultrasound bill, SB 1387, has been canceled and the committee won't hear the bill - meaning it's dead. House Republicans have been in a closed-door caucus. The committee secretary has confirmed that tomorrow morning's meeting has been canceled; House State Affairs won't meet at all tomorrow/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise.
