  ANNETTE KREITZER, Legislative Aide to Sen. Loren Leman,                      
  Prime Sponsor of SB 266, stated that the bill was amended in                 
  the Senate Labor and Commerce Committee and the title only                   
  extends the termination date of the Board of Certified                       
  Direct-Entry Midwives.  She said the board would be extended                 
  to June 30, 1998.  She indicated that there was a zero                       
  fiscal note and that there was a recommendation from the                     
  Division of Legislative Audit to continue the board.                         
                                                                               
  Number 613                                                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIR TOOHEY asked if there were any questions.  Hearing no                  
  questions, she indicated that she would notify Ms. Kreitzer                  
  of when SB 266 would be heard again.  She then brought HB
