                SB   1 "NO FRILLS" PRISON ACT                                
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN ROBIN TAYLOR  called the Judiciary Committee meeting to              
 order at 1:42 p.m. and introduced  SB 1  as the first order of                
 business.  He noted at the previous hearing on SB 1, amendments               
 were adopted which are incorporated into the proposed CS before the           
 committee.                                                                    
                                                                               
  SENATOR DONLEY , prime sponsor of SB 1, pointed out that in addition         
 to the amendments previously adopted by the committee, the CS                 
 contains a two year general implementation period.  The two year              
 implementation period eliminates the need for a separate effective            
 date for the television provisions on page 5, line 16.  He                    
 requested the committee to review and delete the language on page             
 5, line 16, subsection (d), "Subject to (e) of this section, on and           
 after January 1, 1999,".  Senator Donley also noted that intent               
 language was added to Section 2 of the CS to provide guidance to              
 the Commissioner and the Department of Corrections regarding the              
 expected standards.                                                           
                                                                               
 Number 080                                                                    
                                                                               
  SENATOR PARNELL  moved to adopt CSSB 1(JUD), work draft L, dated             
 1/27/97.  Without objection, it was so ordered.                               
                                                                               
  SENATOR PARNELL  moved that the language on page 5, line 16,                 
 subsection (d) stating "Subject to (e) of this section, on and                
 after January 1, 1999," be deleted.  Without objection, it was so             
 ordered.                                                                      
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN TAYLOR  asked if anyone wished to testify on the                    
 legislation before the committee took further action.  Hearing                
 none, he noted his wish to entertain a motion.                                
                                                                               
  SENATOR PEARCE  moved to report CSSB 1(JUD) as amended out of                
 committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal                 
 notes.  Without objection, it was so ordered.
