Assembly Defeats Effort To Revive Comic Book Bill
The California Assembly rejected Bonelli's bid to curb sales of crime and horror comics to minors by a 27 to 57 vote, leaving the bill in committee. Opponents warned of censorship and overbreadth, even as supporters considered revisions to revive the measure.
