CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 76(FIN) which had been placed at the                    
bottom of today's calendar was before the Senate.                              
                                                                               
Senator Duncan moved that CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 76(FIN)                       
be returned to second reading for the purpose of rescinding action             
in failing to adopt Amendment No. 5 (page 1505).  President                    
Halford ruled the motion dilatory.                                             
                                                                               
Senator Duncan appealed the ruling of the Chair, citing Mason's                
Manual Section 180.
