TAPE 96-16, SIDE A
SB 244 CALCULATION OF STATE AID TO EDUCATION
Number 001
CHAIRMAN GREEN called the Senate Health, Education and Social
Services (HESS) Committee to order at 10:30 a.m. and introduced
SB 244 as the first order of business before the committee. She
inquired as to the will of the committee.
SENATOR MILLER moved that SB 244 be moved out of committee with
individual recommendations.
Number 017
SENATOR LEMAN objected. He expressed concern with the approach the
bill uses to deal with the problem. Senator Leman felt that the
foundation formula should be addressed in a more comprehensive
approach. He wanted that concern to be forwarded to Senate
Finance. He removed his objection.
CHAIRMAN GREEN felt Senator Leman's concern was shared by many;
however, she was not sure that keeping it in HESS would get to the
needed solution.
Hearing no objection, SB 244 passed out of committee.
SB 301 POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION
Number 044
CHAIRMAN GREEN introduced SB 301 as the next order of business
before the committee. She appointed herself to a work group that
will work on determining everything that needs to be repealed in
order to make this a workable solution. She did not have a problem
with the original Executive Order, but some form of legislative
oversight in the appointment and the description of those appointed
is desirable. The meetings will be noted and anyone interested is
welcome.
SENATOR LEMAN inquired as to the time frame of this work group.
CHAIRMAN GREEN said that she hoped to be working within two weeks.
The intent is to have a bill this session.
There being no further business before the committee, the meeting
was adjourned at 10:33 a.m.
