reporting  requirements  are "on  the  books,"  and the  proposed

CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND asked about fiscal impact.                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
MR.  LAMKIN  explained  that existing  Board  of  Regents  policy                                                               
requires  that the  administration  provide  "regular reports  on                                                               
this very subject"; therefore, the  provision for reporting under                                                               
CSSB 36(EDC) simply would be added to the existing requirements.

Alaska, confirmed there would be  no fiscal impact resulting from                                                               
CSSB 36(EDC) because it would  require just one more presentation                                                               
to the legislature at no cost.                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                
9:09:03 AM                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND moved  to report CSSB 36(EDC)  out of committee                                                               
with  individual  recommendations  and  the  accompanying  fiscal                                                               
notes.   There being no  objection CSSB 36(EDC) was  reported out
