  Chairman  Leman called  the Senate  State Affairs  Committee                 
  meeting  to  order  at  9:10   a.m.  and  announced  SB  128                 
  LEGISLATIVE AUDITS to be up for consideration.                               
                                                                               
  SENATOR MILLER moved  to adopt the CS to SB 128.  There were                 
  no objections and it was so ordered.                                         
                                                                               
  RANDY WELKER,  Legislative Auditor,  said the  CS makes  one                 
  change on page 2, line 3  by inserting "executive branch" so                 
  it was clear  the Office  of Management and  Budget did  not                 
  have   authority   to   direct   implementation   of   audit                 
  recommendations to the judicial branch.                                      
                                                                               
  SENATOR TAYLOR commented that  he didn't see the reason  for                 
  putting something  into statute  when it  was the  Executive                 
  branch's duty, anyhow.  MR. WELKER explained SB 128 required                 
  Legislative Audit to report their progress to the Budget and                 
  Audit Committee.                                                             
                                                                               
  SENATOR TAYLOR  moved to pass  CSSB 128 from  committee with                 
  individual recommendations.  There were no objections and it                 
  was so ordered.
