  SENATOR JACKO opened the public hearing  on HB 283 (BOARD OF                 
  ARCH/ENGINEERS/SURVEYORS EXT.)                                               
                                                                               
                                                                               
  SENATOR LOREN LEMAN  explained the legislation is  the House                 
                                                                               
  companion to a Senate bill he  introduced on the same topic,                 
  and  it  will  extend the  board  for  the normal  four-year                 
                                                                               
  period.  He  said audit  reports confirm that  the board  is                 
  functioning  as  intended, and  he  sees no  reason  for not                 
                                                                               
  extending it.                                                                
                                                                               
                                                                               
  SENATOR HALFORD asked  if there were any  recommendations in                 
  the audit report for  action in the statute.   SENATOR LEMAN                 
                                                                               
  answered that he didn't know, but he is aware that the board                 
  is studying  the possibility  for forming  a semi-autonomous                 
                                                                               
  board.                                                                       
                                                                               
                                                                               
  Number 067                                                                   
                                                                               
                                                                               
  SENATOR RIEGER moved that HB 283  be passed out of committee                 
  with individual  recommendations.  Hearing no  objection, it                 
                                                                               
  was so ordered.
