ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 96-60, SIDE A
Number 0001
CHAIRMAN BRIAN PORTER called the House Judiciary Committee meeting
to order at 1:17 p.m. Members present at the call to order were
Representatives Porter, Green, Bunde and Vezey. Members absent
were Representatives B. Davis, Toohey and Finkelstein.
CHAIRMAN PORTER informed the committee that SB 43 would be heard
the following day.
SJR 5 - CRIME VICTIMS RIGHTS CONSTIT AMDMT
CHAIRMAN PORTER called upon Senator Dave Donley, sponsor of SJR 5,
to present the resolution.
Number 0095
SENATOR DAVE DONLEY explained that SJR 5 supported a proposal
currently before the United States Congress, which added language
to the U.S. Constitution to enumerate rights for crime victims. He
noted that committee packets contained copies of that proposal.
"The resolution doesn't specify any particular language," he
stated. "It just calls on ... the U.S. Congress to act on this
issue."
CHAIRMAN PORTER asked if there were questions.
REPRESENTATIVE JOE GREEN said he thought it was a great idea.
Number 0153
CHAIRMAN PORTER commented that "this is very, very close to the
constitutional amendment that we dealt with, obviously at a lot
greater length, two years ago, and that is now a part of our
constitution. Senator Donley was involved in that effort before we
even started. And this falls right in line with that and would
apply this to the federal cases nationally."
REPRESENTATIVE CON BUNDE made a motion that SJR 5 move from
committee with individual recommendations.
CHAIRMAN PORTER noted the motion and indicated there was a zero
fiscal note. He asked if there was an objection. There being no
objection, CSSSSJR 5(RLS) moved from the House Judiciary Committee.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to conduct, CHAIRMAN PORTER
adjourned the House Judiciary Committee meeting at 1:20 p.m.
