 SENATOR TAYLOR asked if the fiscal impact on the general fund would           
 remain at $600.  MR. MOURANT answered affirmatively.                          
                                                                               
 Number 372                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR ADAMS asked how many spouses are of residents of the                  
 military and how many are married to college students.  MR. McGEE,            
 stated that breakdown is not available, however those two                     
 categories comprise approximately 12,000 applicants which amount to           
 over 50 percent of the out-of-state applicants.  He clarified there           
 will be no expense to the general fund from CSHB 4 (STA)am, the               
 administrative cost of $600 will come from permanent fund dividend            
 funds.                                                                        
                                                                               
 SENATOR GREEN moved CSHB 4 (STA)am out of committee with individual           
 recommendations.  There being no objection, the motion carried.
