ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 98-4, SIDE A
CHAIRMAN KELLY called the Senate Rules Committee meeting to order
at 12:02 p.m., and noted the presence of Senators Leman, Taylor,
Torgerson and Kelly.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought SB 218 - CRIMES OF MURDER & CHILD MURDERS
before the committee as the first order of business.
SENATOR LEMAN moved and asked unanimous consent SB 218 be approved
for calendaring at the discretion of the Chair. Hearing no
objection, it was so ordered.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought SB 234 - BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF AK BAR ASSN
before the committee as the next order of business.
SENATOR LEMAN moved and asked unanimous consent SB 234 be approved
for calendaring at the discretion of the Chair. Hearing no
objection, it was so ordered.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought SB 304 - REGULATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES & HWYS
before the committee and requested Senator Donley to explain the
new proposed Rules CS.
SENATOR DAVE DONLEY, prime sponsor of SB 304, said given the time
left in the session and some of the concerns that have been
expressed by the committee, he thought it would be better to narrow
the bill down to the one thing everybody agrees on which is
increasing the fines for offenses committed in a highway work zone.
The proposed committee substitute removes the language in the bill
relating to driving in the left lane of a divided highway. Also,
in response to a request form AGC and the construction industry to
make the effective a little earlier in order to protect workers
during next construction season, the effective date was changed
from June 30, 1999 to April 30, 1999.
SENATOR LEMAN moved adoption of CSSB 304(RLS), version "X," as a
working document. Hearing no objection, the motion carried.
SENATOR LEMAN moved and asked unanimous consent CSSB 304(RLS) be
approved for calendaring at the discretion of the Chair. Hearing
no objection, it was so ordered.
There being no further business to come before the committee, the
meeting adjourned at 12:05 p.m.
