  SENATOR KELLY announced  HB 101 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL  CODE to                 
  be up for consideration.                                                     
                                                                               
  LYNDA GIGUERE,  Legislative Aide for  Representative Hudson,                 
  said HB 101 would allow the Department of Labor to adopt the                 
  National  Electrical  Safety  Code.    The  State  has  been                 
  adopting these Codes  since 1969  and they thought  allowing                 
  the Department to do  it would be more efficient.   There is                 
  an amendment to correct a possible constitutional problem.                   
                                                                               
  MS. GIGUERE explained that using "shall mandate the adoption                 
  of future additions..."  could be  construed as creating  an                 
  unconstitutional delegation  of legislative  authority to  a                 
  non-governmental agency.
