in finding  five sections of the  two bills that would  amend the

TRACY   DOMPELING,  Director,   Division  of   Juvenile  Justice,

preference would be that HB 105  and HB 116 remain separate.  She                                                               
explained that  HB 116 does not  have the time constraints  of HB
 to bring the state into federal compliance.

sought  by  members  of  the  committee  or  others  present  and
