        HJR 20 SUPPORT 10TH AMENDMENT ENFORCEMENT ACT                        
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN SHARP brought up HJR 20 as the next order of business                
 before the Senate State Affairs Committee.                                    
                                                                               
 Number 435                                                                    
                                                                               
 ELEANOR ROSER, Aide to Representative Ramona Barnes, prime sponsor            
 of HJR 20, stated the resolution would request support for the 10th           
 amendment, which would eliminate further federal mandates and other           
 types of federalism.                                                          
                                                                               
 SENATOR DONLEY asked if they could add the title change to the                
 title change resolution, so as not to inadvertently open up HJR 20.           
                                                                               
 SENATOR LEMAN stated if the House changes HJR 20, it would come               
 back to the Senate anyway, so the Senate would have the last say on           
 any changes the House makes.  He suggested passing HJR 20, and then           
 passing the title change resolution.                                          
                                                                               
 SENATOR DONLEY asked if they couldn't just remove the concern by              
 adding the new title of HJR 20 to the title change resolution.                
                                                                               
 Number 400                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN SHARP asked Ms. Roser if she would have objection to that.           
                                                                               
 MS. ROSER responded she would have no objection to that.                      
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN SHARP asked if there was any objection to stating the new            
 title of HJR 20 in the title change resolution.                               
                                                                               
 [None was voiced.]                                                            
                                                                               
 SENATOR LEMAN made a motion to adopt the Senate State Affairs                 
 Committee substitute for HJR 20.                                              
 Number 380                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN SHARP, hearing no objection, stated the committee                    
 substitute was adopted.                                                       
                                                                               
 SENATOR DONLEY made a motion to discharge HJR 20 from the Senate              
 State Affairs Committee with individual recommendations.                      
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN SHARP, hearing no objection, stated HJR 20 was discharged            
 from the Senate State Affairs Committee.                                      
                                                                               
 SENATOR RANDY PHILLIPS stated for the record that HJR 20 is a                 
 complete rewrite from the original legislation.                               
                                                                               
 Number 365                                                                    
                                                                               
 MS. ROSER stated she will talk to Representative Barnes about a               
 press release regarding the change of subject of HJR 20.                      
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN SHARP stated the resolution for the title change will have           
 to be adopted in the Rules Committee.  The title of the title                 
 change resolution will include the new title of HJR 20.
