There being no objection, it was so ordered.

Representative Nordlund moved and asked unanimous consent that                 
Amendment No. 1 be adopted.                                                    
                                                                               
Representative Porter objected.                                                
                                                                               
Representative Navarre rose to a point of order stating the title change       
violates the Uniform Rules.                                                    
                                                                               
The Speaker ruled the title change to be technical, citing an opinion          
from legal counsel.                                                            
                                                                               
                                                                               
The Speaker stated that the House would stand at ease until 12:00              
noon, and so, the House stood at ease at 11:22 a.m.

The question being:  "Shall Amendment No. 1 be adopted?"  The roll
