  SENATE BILL NO. 57                                                           
                                                                               
       An  Act  relating to  employment  contributions  and to                 
       extending the pilot project for  the state training and                 
       employment  program;  and  providing for  an  effective                 
       date.                                                                   
                                                                               
  Co-chair  Pearce  directed that  SB  57  be brought  on  for                 
  discussion.    She then  called for  amendments.   None were                 
  offered.    Senator  Rieger  MOVED  that  SB  57  pass  from                 
  committee with  individual recommendations.   Co-chair Frank                 
  raised a question  concerning operation of the program.  Co-                 
  chair  Pearce  explained  that the  Dept.  of  Community and                 
  Regional Affairs and Dept. of Labor continue  to support the                 
  direct grant within  the budget for  the Dept. of  Community                 
  and Regional Affairs but  would not support a change  in the                 
  bill.  No objection  having been raised, SB 57  was REPORTED                 
  OUT of committee with zero SFC fiscal notes for the Dept. of                 
  Labor,  Dept. of Community  and Regional  Affairs (Service),                 
  and Dept. of Community and Regional Affairs (Training).  All                 
  members present signed the committee report with a "do pass"                 
  recommendation.   Senator Kerttula  was absent  and did  not                 
  sign.
