Cries of legislative rules violations erupted in the House yesterday when the bill came to the floor.
Lucas, vice chairman of the Transportation Committee, and committee chairman State Rep Rex Crowell, R-Longton, used the committee to get the abortion bill to the floor. Twelve co-sponsors of the abortion legislation hold seats on the committee.
The House Transportation Committee substituted a parental notification bill for a Senate bill that would have dealt with the use of vehicle registration fees by county treasurers. The abortion bill, introduced by State Rep. Artie Lucas, R-Highland, had been killed by the Federal and State Affairs Committee last week.

It is unlike any other place on Earth. Plains of petrified sand dunes stretch toward the horizon, 2,000 feet above the Colorado River.
While much of the University population is planning trips to crowded, commercialized tourist spots, about 15 students plan to explore the open spaces of UB by bicycle.
Lance Waldo, Kansas City, Mo., senior who has traveled to Meab before, said he recommended wearing helmets because of the cliffs and drop-offs.
Meah, Utah, situated on the Colorado-Utah border, is near the Lasal Mountains. It sometimes is called "slick rock heaven" and has become one of the highest places to ride a mountain bike, some KU students say.

WASHINGTON — Senate leaders and President Bush compromised yesterday on future air pollution controls for automobiles, factories and electric power plants, enhancing chances that a clean air bill will pass this year.
The agreement, after more than three weeks of closed-door negotiations, was viewed as a middle ground likely to attract enough support to thwart continuing regional opposition in the looming Senate debate.
Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, called the compromise a comprehensive agreement that would substantially improve air quality during the next decade. He planned to bring the legislation to the Senate floor on Monday.
