       SENATOR PHILLIPS  MOVED to  rescind previous action  in                 
       failing   to  adopt  Amendment   #1.    SENATOR  DONLEY                 
       objected.   The  motion CARRIED by  a 6  to 1  vote and                 
       Amendment #1 was  before the  committee.  Amendment  #1                 
       FAILED by  a 2  to 5 vote.   COCHAIR PEARCE  MOVED CSSB
(FIN)     from     committee     with     individual                 
       recommendations.  Without objection, CSSB 105(FIN)  was                 
       REPORTED  OUT  with a  previous  zero fiscal  note from                 
       Legislative Affairs Agency, a previous fiscal note from                 
       the Department of Administration  (151.2), a new fiscal                 
       note from the  Department of Administration  (58.9) and                 
       new zero fiscal notes from the  Department of Labor and                 
       the Department of Law.                                                  
                                                                               
  SENATE BILL NO. 105                                                          
  "An  Act  relating to  legislative  ethics; relating  to the                 
  filing of disclosures  by certain legislative employees  and                 
  officials; and providing for an effective date."                             
                                                                               
  COCHAIR  SHARP  noted  that  SB  105  was  back  before  the                 
  committee on a rescind  vote.  He noted there  were a number                 
  of amendments that had been considered.                                      
                                                                               
                                                                               
  SENATOR  DONLEY  brought  up  previous  discussion  about  a                 
  peculiarity  in  existing  law.    The only  state  official                 
  allowed to continue  to raise  money during the  legislative                 
  session  was  the  Lieutenant Governor  and  he  believed it                 
  should  be  equal  for  all  candidates.   He  had  a  draft                 
  amendment on the  issue but thought  it had been  adequately                 
  addressed.                                                                   
                                                                               
  SENATOR PHILLIPS MOVED to rescind previous action in failing                 
  to adopt  Amendment #1.   COCHAIR  SHARP and  SENATOR DONLEY                 
  objected.                                                                    
                                                                               
  A roll call vote was taken on the MOTION.

  The motion  CARRIED by a  6 to 1  vote and Amendment  #1 was                 
  before the committee.                                                        
                                                                               
  There was brief discussion on the merits of the amendment.                   
                                                                               
  A roll call vote was taken  on the MOTION to adopt Amendment                 
  IN FAVOR: Adams, Phillips

  COCHAIR  PEARCE  MOVED  CSSB  105(FIN) from  committee  with                 
  individual   recommendations.     Without   objection,  CSSB
(FIN) was REPORTED OUT with  a previous zero fiscal  note                 
  from Legislative Affairs Agency, a previous fiscal note from                 
  the Department of Administration (151.2),  a new fiscal note                 
  from the Department  of Administration  (58.9) and new  zero                 
  fiscal notes from the Department of Labor and the Department                 
  of Law.
