  SENATE BILL NO. 79                                                           
                                                                               
       An Act  setting termination  dates for  various boards,                 
       commissions,   councils,   agencies,   committees,  and                 
       divisions  of  state  government;   repealing  obsolete                 
       statutes relating to the State  Fire Commission and the                 
       Board  of  Electrical  Examiners;   repealing  obsolete                 
       statutes relating to termination of agency programs and                 
       activities; increasing  to 10 years  the normal maximum                 
       interval for  review of boards, commissions,  and other                 
       entities  that  are  subject  to  sunset  reviews;  and                 
       providing for an effective date.                                        
                                                                               
  Co-chair  Pearce  directed  that  SB  79 be  brought  before                 
  committee  for  discussion and  referenced  a draft  CSSB 79                 
  (Fin) (8-LS0521\O, Lauterbach, 4/22/93).  She explained that                 
  SB 79 contained a  number of changes relating to  boards and                 
  commissions.   CSSB 79  (Fin) merely extends  the Council on                 
  Domestic  Violence  and  Sexual Assault  to  June  30, 1997.                 
  Senator Jacko MOVED for adoption of  the "O" version of CSSB
 (Fin).   No objection having  been raised, CSSB 79  (Fin)                 
  was ADOPTED.   Senator Jacko MOVED  that CSSB 79 (Fin)  pass                 
  from  committee with  individual  recommendations.   Senator                 
  Kelly  said he  was not  opposed  to the  bill,  but he  had                 
                                                                               
                                                                               
  questions  regarding a  repealer contained  in  the original                 
  legislation.   He then  asked that  passage of  the bill  be                 
  delayed  pending  resolution  of that  question.    Co-chair                 
  Pearce noted  that statutes do not allow  the legislature to                 
  deal with more than one sunset in the same bill.  Unless the                 
  repealer applies  to the  Council on  Domestic Violence  and                 
  Sexual  Assault,  it could  not be  included within  CSSB 79                 
  (Fin).   Senator Jacko WITHDREW his  motion for passage, and                 
  CSSB 79 (Fin) was temporarily HELD in committee.                             
                                                                               
  [See page  5 of  these minutes  for further  action on  this                 
  bill.]                                                                       
                                                                               
                                                                               
  CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 79(FIN)                                               
                                                                               
       An Act extending the termination date of the Council on                 
       Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.                                   
                                                                               
  Discussion reverted  to an  earlier adopted  CSSB 79  (Fin).                 
  Co-chair Pearce asked  if Senator Kelly's concerns  had been                 
  satisfied.   He explained  that the repealer  giving rise to                 
  his concern  "is being  taken care  of in  another piece  of                 
  legislation."  He then  advised he had no objection  to CSSB
 (Fin).  Senator Jacko MOVED  that CSSB 79 (Fin) pass from                 
  committee  with  individual recommendations.    No objection                 
  having  been  raised,  CSSB 79  (Fin)  was  REPORTED  OUT of                 
  committee with a zero  fiscal note from the Dept.  of Public                 
  Safety.   Co-chair Pearce  and Senators  Kelly, Rieger,  and                 
  Sharp  signed  the   committee  report  with  a   "do  pass"                 
  recommendation.   Senator Jacko signed  "no recommendation."                 
  (Co-chair Frank and  Senator Kerttula  were absent from  the                 
  meeting and did not sign.)                                                   
                                                                               
  ADJOURNMENT                                                                  
                                                                               
  The meeting was adjourned at approximately 10:20 a.m.
