ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 93-5, SIDE A
Number 001
The Senate Rules Committee was called to order by Chairman
Jacko at 4:50 p.m.
SENATOR HALFORD moved and asked unanimous consent that SB
145 (POSITION OF STATE MEDICAL EXAMINER) be approved for
calendaring at the Chair's discretion. Hearing no
objection, it was so ordered.
SENATOR HALFORD moved and asked unanimous consent that SJR
31 (EXTEND FED LANDFILL COMPLIANCE DEADLINES) be approved
for calendaring at the Chair's discretion. Hearing no
objection, it was so ordered.
CHAIRMAN JACKO brought SB 45 (MISC. LAWS RELATING TO MINORS)
before the committee. SB 45 was sent back to the Rules
Committee from the Senate floor on 4/19/93 because of
confusion between the Finance CS and the Rules CS. However,
it has been determined that there wasn't a problem and the
correct version was before the body on the Senate floor.
SENATOR LITTLE stated she had two proposed amendments to
offer to SB 45. She explained that currently, whenever a
run-a-way youth is picked up by police, that youth is given
a choice of where he or she may want to go. That youth can
either go home, go to Family & Youth Services, or go to a
safe home. SB 45 changes that by giving that discretion to
the police officer. She said she believes it is in the
child's best interest to let that minor decide where he or
she wants to go. Amendment No 1 would put that discretion
back in the minor's preference.
SENATOR LITTLE moved Amendment No. 1. SENATOR HALFORD
objected. The roll was taken with the following result:
Senator Little voted "Yea" and Senators Halford, Rieger and
Jacko voted "Nay." The Chair stated the motion had failed.
SENATOR LITTLE said another provision of the bill allows
parents to "divorce" their kids. She believes parents
should be responsible for their children until they are
adults, and if the bill should pass without her amendment,
the state will incur greater costs in caring for these
individuals. Amendment No. 2 would take out the provision
that allows parents to divorce their children.
SENATOR LITTLE moved Amendment No. 2. SENATOR HALFORD
objected. The roll was taken with the following result:
Senator Little voted "Yea" and Senators Rieger, Halford and
Jacko voted "Nay." The Chair stated the motion had failed.
SENATOR HALFORD moved and asked unanimous consent that SB 45
be placed back on the calendar at the Chair's discretion.
Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
SENATOR HALFORD moved and asked unanimous consent that HB
144 (FEE FOR PFD ASSIGNMENTS/CLAIMS) be approved for
calendaring at the Chair's discretion. Hearing no
objection, it was so ordered.
SENATOR HALFORD moved and asked unanimous consent that HJR
30 (QUARANTINE SERVICES AT PORTS OF ENTRY) be approved for
calendaring at the Chair's discretion. Hearing no
objection, it was so ordered.
There being no further business to come before the
committee, the meeting was adjourned at 4:58 p.m.
