           SB   7-FELONS' RIGHT TO VOTE OR BE JURORS                                                                        
                                                                                                                                
2:03:47 PM                                                                                                                    
CHAIR   FRENCH  reconvened   the   hearing   and  announced   the                                                               
consideration of  SB 7. He summarized  that the bill had  been in                                                               
the possession  of the  committee for  about a  year and  had not                                                               
changed  since it  was  heard last.  He asked  if  there was  any                                                               
discussion.                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR COGHILL said  he would not object to the  bill because he                                                               
did  not  have   a  solution,  but  he  continued   to  have  the                                                               
reservations he expressed a year ago.                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                
CHAIR  FRENCH  said he,  too,  had  questions but  the  committee                                                               
worked on the bill and it was unfair to hold it further.                                                                        
                                                                                                                                
2:05:02 PM                                                                                                                    
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI  moved to  report SB  7 from  committee with                                                               
individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s).                                                                         
                                                                                                                                
CHAIR FRENCH  announced that without  objection, SB 7  moved from
