Number 015
SENATOR HALFORD brought SB 308 (ADMIN ACTION RE LAND, RESOURCES,
PROPERTY) before the committee as the next order of business.
SENATOR LITTLE offered the following amendment to SB 308:
Page 13, line 5: Delete "limit" and insert "focus"
Delete "to" and insert "on"
Page 13, line 14: Delete "is limited" and insert "proceeds"
Page 13, line 18: Delete "proposed for that phase"
Page 13, line 24: Delete "proposed for that phase"
She explained the amendment makes the bill consistent with the
legislative findings, the Administration's stated intent to coastal
districts, and federal regulations. It addresses a significant
concern that was raised by coastal districts relating to phasing.
SENATOR DRUE PEARCE, Co-chair of the Senate Finance Committee,
testified in opposition to the amendment, stating that it will gut
the bill and the effect would be going back to the status quo in
not allowing the phasing.
SENATOR LITTLE defended her amendment, reiterating that without it
the state is inconsistent with federal requirements under the
coastal management planning process in that the bill would allow
for limiting the scope of review more than federal regulations
allow for.
CHAIRMAN HALFORD called for a roll call vote on the amendment.
The roll was taken with the following result: Senators Zharoff and
Little voted "Yea" and Senators Rieger and Halford voted "Nay."
The Chairman stated the amendment failed.
SENATOR RIEGER moved and asked unanimous consent that SB 308 be
approved for calendaring at the Chair's discretion. SENATOR LITTLE
objected. The roll was taken with the following result: Senators
Jacko, Rieger and Halford voted "Yea" and Senators Little and
Zharoff voted "Nay." The Chairman stated the motion to move SB 308
out of committee carried.
CHAIRMAN HALFORD brought SB 248 (ASSIST & PROTECT VULNERABLE
ADULTS) before the committee and noted that the legislation was
held over from the April 12, 1994 meeting with a motion pending to
adopt CSSB 248(RLS).
CHAIRMAN HALFORD asked if there were any objections to the adoption
of the Rules CS. Hearing no objection, he stated CSSB 248(RLS) was
adopted.
SENATOR RIEGER directed attention to an amendment requested by
Commissioner Nancy Usera of the Department of Administration. The
department reviewed a proposed amendment suggested by the Christian
Science Committee, but believe that it is unnecessary and would
only serve to add controversy to an otherwise universally accepted
bill. However, the department does not believe it will fatally
flaw the bill provided that the amendment is clarified to ensure
that the person who is the subject of the section consents to
treatment by spiritual means only.
SENATOR RIEGER moved the following amendment to CSSB 248(RLS):
Page 12, line 2: After the word "adherent" add ,provided that the
person consents to the treatment by spiritual means only
Hearing no objection, the Chairman stated the amendment was
adopted.
SENATOR RIEGER moved that CSSB 248(RLS), as amended, be passed out
of committee with individual recommendations. Hearing no
objection, it was so ordered.
SENATOR RIEGER moved and asked unanimous consent that SB 248 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 4:29 p.m.
