VICE-CHAIR LEMAN moved that CSSB 28(FIN) be approved for                                                                        
calendaring.                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR ELLIS objected.                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                
CHAIRMAN KELLY stated the motion carried with Senators Leman,                                                                   
Miller, Pearce, and Kelly voting "Yea;"  and Senator Ellis voting                                                               
"Nay."                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR ELLIS stated his objection was based on the fact that the                                                               
lower court decision is on appeal to the Supreme Court.  He thought                                                             
the Legislature should await the Supreme Court decision so that it                                                              
can draft a statute that will withstand court scrutiny in the                                                                   
future.                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                
CHAIRMAN KELLY stated that reason was unlikely to affect many                                                                   
votes, therefore CSSB 28(FIN) would be calendared by a vote of 4 to                                                             
1.  He adjourned the meeting at 11:14 a.m.
