           SB  26 APPROP: VICTIM NOTIFICATION SYSTEM                          
                                                                              
  SENATOR ELLIS , sponsor of SB 26, explained the measure is a                 
 companion appropriation bill to SB 25 however in the last committee           
 of referral a $150,000 fiscal note was attached to SB 25.  He felt            
 the fiscal note to be preferable but suggested passing SB 26 to               
 allow the Finance Committee to decide how to deal with the fiscal             
 impact.   CHAIRMAN TAYLOR  suggested letting the Finance Committee            
 review both.                                                                  
                                                                               
  SENATOR ELLIS  moved SB 26 from committee with individual                    
 recommendations.  There being no objection, the motion carried.               
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN TAYLOR  thanked Senator Ellis for bringing this matter to           
 the Legislature's attention because without it, the constitutional            
 amendment is fairly hollow.
