reconsideration.                                                                                    
                                                                                                    
Senator Bunde moved that the bill be returned to second reading for

Without objection, the bill was returned to second reading.                                         
                                                                                                    
Senator Bunde offered Amendment No. 1 :

Senator Bunde moved for the adoption of Amendment No. 1. Senator                                    
Davis objected.
