 SRLS - 3/3/95                                                                 
                                                                               
 The first item on the committee agenda was  SB 1  (REVIEW OF                  
 FEDERALLY MANDATED PROGRAMS).                                                 
 SENATOR SALO said it was her understanding there were fiscal notes            
 on the legislation that had been zeroed out in the Finance                    
 Committee, and she asked what the rationale was for zeroing them              
 out.  SENATOR SHARP explained that according to testimony in that             
 committee, most departments are already reviewing programs that               
 implement federal statutes and mandates.   SENATOR SALO commented             
 that she thought in a department with all different areas like the            
 Department of Health & Social Services, that it would involve                 
 additional work to the extent where she thinks a fiscal note was              
 probably reasonable.  SENATOR MILLER suggested it would be a good             
 question to ask of the Finance Committee Co-chairs when the bill is           
 on the Senate floor.                                                          
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN MILLER asked if there was any objection to approving SB 1            
 for calendaring.  Hearing none, it was so ordered.
