                      agencies; to maternity homes; to certain                 
                      residential facilities  for adults;  and                 
                      to   foster   homes   for  adults;   and                 
                      providing for an effective date.

                      the bill.  CSHB 412(HES) am was REPORTED                 
                      out   of   committee   with   individual                 
                      recommendations  and  a fiscal  note for                 
                      the  Department  of   Health  &   Social                 
                      Services-HFC for $30.0.                                  
  CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 412(HES) am:                                           
                                                                               
       An Act relating to facilities for the care of children;                 
       to  child placement  agencies; to  maternity homes;  to                 
       certain  residential  facilities  for  adults;  and  to                 
       foster homes for adults; and providing for an effective                 
       date.                                                                   
                                                                               
  Co-chair Pearce  invited Elmer Lindstrom,  Special Assistant                 
  to the Commissioner, Department of Health & Social Services,                 
  to speak to HB 412.                                                          
                                                                               
  ELMER  LINDSTROM  said  that HB  412  was  not substantially                 
  different than CSSB 268(JUD) which was previously moved from                 
  Senate Finance.  The most significant change related to page                 
  6 of the  bill, exemptions from  foster home licensor.   The                 
  other  difference  was  that  the  House  Finance  Committee                 
  reduced  the  fiscal  note submitted  by  the  Department to                 
  $30.0.   The  Department  preferred the  larger,  previously                 
  submitted fiscal note but would proceed with the $30.0  note                 
  if so directed by the legislature.                                           
                                                                               
  Senator Rieger MOVED  for passage of  CSHB 412(HES) am  from                 
  committee  with individual  recommendations.   No  objection                 
  being  heard,  the  bill was  REPORTED  out  with individual                 
  recommendations, and  a fiscal  note for  the Department  of                 
  Health &  Social Services for  $30.0.  Co-chair  Pearce, and                 
  Senator Jacko signed  "do pass."   Co-chair Frank,  Senators                 
  Rieger and Sharp signed "no recommendation."
