Representative Hawker moved and asked unanimous consent that                                        
Amendment No. 2 be adopted.                                                                         
                                                                                                    
Representative Weyhrauch objected.                                                                  
                                                                                                    
The question being:  "Shall Amendment No. 2 be adopted?"  The roll                                  
was taken with the following result:
