Legislature, speaking  on behalf  of the  sponsor, Representative                                                               
Kelly,  explained that  the only  change [from  CSHB 87(RES)]  to                                                               
CSHB 87(FIN)  was moving  the office  of the  [Citizens' Advisory                                                               
Commission  on  Federal  Management   Areas  in  Alaska]  to  the                                                               
Department of  Natural Resources  (DNR).   Therefore, DNR  was to

pending.   The fiscal  note incorrectly  stated that  this office

a revised fiscal note from DNR  was requested [and is before this

REPRESENTATIVE  HARRIS moved  to accept  the revised  fiscal note

reflects  the fact  that  the office  of  the Citizens'  Advisory                                                               
Commission  on  Federal  Management  Areas  in  Alaska  would  be                                                               
located   in  Fairbanks.     There   being   no  objection,   the                                                               
aforementioned fiscal  note was  attached to  CSHB 87(FIN)  as it                                                               
moves  forward.    Therefore,   CSHB  87(FIN)  is  available  for
