SCR 14 - PARITY FOR MENTAL HEALTH TASK FORCE CHAIRMAN WILKEN noted no teleconference participants were available to testify on SCR 14 at this time. SENATOR ELLIS asked committee members to read written testimony, in their files, from a family in Kodiak that puts a human face on the issue of parity. SENATOR GREEN said she read an article in a recent issue of Newsweek about the growing definition of mental illness and how that definition may become ever broader. She asked committee members to consider requiring the task force to focus on a description of illnesses covered by this resolution. SENATOR LEMAN added he would like the task force to address the issue of quantification. Number 328 CHAIRMAN WILKEN said a component of the committee substitute addresses that issue. He announced SCR 14 would be held in committee at this time.
