only members of the Conference Committee may take part in
discussion. David Teal, Director, Division of Legislative
Finance was invited to sit at the table.
Chair Wilken informed that the Division of Legislative Finance
has been directed to prepare the "bill comparison", which would
be utilized. This comparison summarizes the differences between
the two versions of the bills that are the subject of these
committee discussions and are located in the Internet.
