ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 98-4 , SIDE A
CHAIRMAN KELLY called the Senate Rules Committee meeting to order
at 11:15 a.m.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought SB 319 - ARBITRATION before the committee
and requested a calendaring motion on the legislation.
SENATOR LEMAN moved and asked unanimous consent SB 319 be approved
for calendaring at the discretion of the Chair. Hearing no
objection, it was so ordered.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought SJR 35 - CONST AM: PARTICIPATION IN ABORTION
before the committee and requested a calendaring motion on the
legislation.
SENATOR LEMAN moved and asked unanimous consent SJR 35 be approved
for calendaring at the discretion of the Chair. SENATOR DUNCAN
objected. The roll was taken with the following result: Senators
Taylor, Leman, Torgerson and Kelly voted "Yea" and Senator Duncan
voted "Nay." CHAIRMAN KELLY stated the calendaring motion carried.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought SB 233 - ALCOHOL: BD/REC. SITES/POLICE &
ARRESTS before the committee and directed attention to a proposed
Rules committee substitute.
TIM BENINTENDI, staff to the Senate Rules Committee, outlined the
following changes in the proposed Rules CS:
- It deletes Sections 1,4 and 6 of the Finance version.
- It also changes the effective date to an immediate effective
date.
- The title is amended to reflect the removal of Sections 1,4
and 6.
Mr. Benintendi pointed out that Section 2 of the legislation
defines "golf course" and adds it to the definition of
"recreational site." Also the phrase "means, but is not limited
to" is being deleted because the word "includes" was added on line
1, page 2. He explained the phrase is not needed because there is
a provision in statute providing that whenever the words "includes"
or "including" are used, it is inferred that the phrase "but not
limited to" is included in that definition.
SENATOR LEMAN asked what the practical effect of the legislation
was.
LARRY STEVENS, staff to Senator Bert Sharp, explained that the
current law covers the sale of beer and wine before and after
special events, and this legislation will allow the sale of beer
and wine while recreation is occurring.
SENATOR DUNCAN voiced his concern that the phrase "while recreation
is occurring" expands this beyond when an actual event is
occurring. He believes it opens it up so that beverages could be
sold anytime there is recreational activity at a recreational
site, not just an actual event.
SENATOR TAYLOR moved adoption of CSSB 233(RLS), version "Q." There
being no objection, the Rules CS was adopted.
SENATOR TORGERSON moved CSSB 233(RLS) be approved for calendaring
at the discretion of the Chair. Hearing no objection, the motion
carried.
There being no further business to come before the committee, the
meeting adjourned at 11:25 a.m.
