Droopy-pants bill comes up short
Items compiled from Tribune news services
Published February 11, 2005
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA -- Virginia lawmakers dropped a droopy-pants bill Thursday after the whole thing became just too embarrassing.
The bill, which would have slapped a $50 fine on people who wear their pants so low that their underwear is visible in "a lewd or indecent manner," passed the state House on Tuesday but was killed by a Senate committee two days later in a unanimous vote.
Republican Sen. Kenneth Stolle, the committee chairman, called the bill "a distraction."
The committee hearing drew a crowd that included about 75 high school students.
"If people in Florida can wear bikinis, a little underwear showing isn't going to hurt anybody," Elvyn Shaw, 17, said.
