Lawmakers defeated House Bill 62 saying that such discussions should take place outside of schools. Gillette Rep. John Bear who lost his son to suicide, opposed the bill, saying young people need to get hope from the faith community. But House Minority Floor Leader Cathy Connolly countered that not all young people attend church. She noted that in a legislative hearing on the bill, a number of students testified that they were aware a sibling was considering suicide.
