  Representative  Hanley  MOVED  to  RESCIND  the  Committee's                 
  action  in reporting CSHB  167 (FIN) from  Committee.  There                 
  being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered.                                       
                                                                               
  Representative Hanley MOVED  to delete "monthly" and  insert                 
  "periodically" on page  29, page  37.  Representative  Brown                 
  clarified that the intent  is not that the APUC  develop new                 
  procedures  for monthly recovery.  She observed that not all                 
  utilities recover monthly.  There being NO OBJECTION, it was                 
  so ordered.
