       "An  Act  relating   to  fees  for  certain   costs  of                 
       administering the permanent fund dividend program."                     
                                                                               
  Co-Chair Larson noted  that HB 144 would  transfer the costs                 
  of  administering  permanent fund  dividend  assignments and                 
  attachments back to  the person whose financial  obligations                 
  are the cause of the assignment or attachment.                               
                                                                               
  Representative  Martin observed  that  minors are  currently                 
  having  their permanent  fund  dividend checks  attached for                 
  obligations of  their parents.  Representative  Martin MOVED                 
  to RESCIND  the Committees action  of February 19,  1993, in

  recommendations  and  with   the  accompanying  fiscal  note                 
  remained before the Committee.  There being NO OBJECTION, it                 
  was so ordered.                                                              
                                                                               
  HB   144   was   reported   out   of  Committee   with   "no                 
  recommendation"  and  with   a  zero  fiscal  note   by  the

  Co-Chair Larson noted that the Department of Education House                 
  Finance Subcommittee's closeout  was held in order  that the                 
  Subcommittee meet to amend a previous action.                                
                                                                               
  Co-Chair Larson discussed the  amendment schedule.  Co-Chair                 
  MacLean noted that the capital closeout will begin after the                 
  operating budget has been closed.  Input on capital projects                 
  will be submitted through subcommittees.
