HJR  5 - CONST AM: FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE                                       
                                                                               
CHAIRMAN GREEN announced the first order of business would be HJR
5, Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of                  
Alaska relating to freedom of conscience.  He said the bill had                
previously been addressed several times in the committee.                      
                                                                               
Number 0069                                                                    
                                                                               
REPRESENTATIVE JEANNETTE JAMES made a motion to move HJR 5 out of              
committee with individual recommendations.                                     
                                                                               
REPRESENTATIVE NORMAN ROKEBERG objected.  He asked if the committee            
had previously voted on moving the bill.                                       
                                                                               
CHAIRMAN JAMES indicated the committee had, but it failed to move.             
                                                                               
REPRESENTATIVE ROKEBERG asked if the committee had to rescind their            
previous action.                                                               
                                                                               
CHAIRMAN GREEN indicated they didn't, they just had to bring it                
back up.                                                                       
                                                                               
REPRESENTATIVE ROKEBERG withdrew his objection.                                
                                                                               
Number 0115                                                                    
                                                                               
CHAIRMAN GREEN asked if there was a further objection.  There being            
none, CSHJR 5(JUD) moved out of the House Judiciary Standing                   
Committee.
