The next order of business to come before the committee was  SB 346           
 (REPORT CHARITABLE GAMING WINNERS).                                           
                                                                               
 LAURA SASHA HUGHES, testifying from Anchorage in support of SB 346,           
 spoke to the problem of some welfare recipients spending most of              
 their welfare checks in bingo halls, which, she said, is a blatant            
 abuse of the system.                                                          
                                                                               
 Number 255                                                                    
                                                                               
 There being no further testimony on SB 346, SENATOR KELLY asked for           
 the will of the committee.                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR SHARP moved that SB 346 be passed out of committee with               
 individual recommendations.  Hearing no objections, it was so                 
 ordered.
