Odd Legislation

I know there are people that wonder what some politicians do all day, and I think I found the answer. They come up with bills like this, via Boston.com:

A Massachusetts state senator has filed a bill that could prohibit a divorcing parent from having sex in their own home.


Senator Richard J. Ross, a Wrentham Republican, filed by request Bill 787 which would pertain to the divorcing parent still living in the family home. It states:

In divorce, separation, or 209A proceedings involving children and a marital home, the party remaining in the home shall not conduct a dating or sexual relationship within the home until a divorce is final and all financial and custody issues are resolved, unless the express permission is granted by the courts.

A few questions.

1) What incident came up that Senator Ross felt like he needed to file this bill?

2) How would they possibly enforce this?

3) Are they against couples trying to reconcile?

4) Aren't there bigger issues they could be dealing with?
