  HOUSE BILL 108                                                               
                                                                               
       "An  Act  relating  to  the crime  victim  compensation                 
       program; and providing for an effective date."                          
                                                                               
  Co-Chair   Therriault   stated   that   the   Crime   Victim                 
  Compensation Program  had not received  allocations from the                 
  fund  established  by  statute.   The  inactive  account was                 
  cleared by changing reference from "fund" to "program".                      
                                                                               
  Representative J. Davies added that  both the Department and                 
  Division which the proposed legislation would  affect agreed                 
  that passage of  the legislation would not  adversely affect                 
  them.                                                                        
  Mr. Bischoff interjected that  the Department was supportive                 
  of passage of HB 108.                                                        
                                                                               
  Representative  Mulder  MOVED  to  report   HB  108  out  of                 
  Committee  with  individual  recommendations  and  with  the                 
  accompanying fiscal note.                                                    
                                                                               
  HB  108  was reported  out  of  Committee with  a  "do pass"                 
  recommendation  and  with  two  zero  fiscal  notes  by  the
