A House committee plans to make its recommendation tomorrow on a state bill to legalize assisted suicide for the terminally ill.

The Judiciary Committee this fall has been working on the bill, which was introduced last session but held over for more work. The full House is expected to vote on the measure next year.

The bill would let terminally ill patients over age 18 obtain lethal prescriptions, with safeguards to prevent abuses.

Oregon has approved assisted suicide ballot questions twice. Washington state followed suit last year.
