[January 2nd, 2008]
That’s when a federal judge issued a temporary injunction against House Bill 2007, the law providing domestic partnership rights and benefits that was to have gone into effect Wednesday, Jan. 2. The ruling by Judge Michael Mosman means HB 2007 will not legally take effect until after the outcome of another hearing Feb. 1.
