CHAIR SCOTT OGAN announced SB 303  to be up for consideration. He                                                               
asked  everyone to  consider the  changes  in the  bill over  the                                                               
upcoming weekend.                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR RALPH SEEKINS moved to  adopt the proposed CSSB 303(RES),                                                               
version \D, for discussion purposes.                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                
CHAIR OGAN said he would like  to hold voting on the motion until                                                               
the  bill  was  before  the  committee next  time  to  allow  for                                                               
amendments, since it is pretty extensively reworked.                                                                            
                                                                                                                                
MR. HENRY  WEBB, Staff to Representative  Ralph Samuels, sponsor,                                                               
said that they met with the  Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G),                                                               
Department  of  Public  Safety (DPS),  Division  of  Occupational                                                               
Licensing and  the Board of Game  and went through the  bill page                                                               
by  page. There  were 63  changes, some  were technical  and some                                                               
were substantive.                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                
CHAIR OGAN asked him to go over the substantive changes.                                                                        
                                                                                                                                
MR. WEBB said  he would rather do a complete  markup so the whole                                                               
bill could  be before  the committee.  He hoped  to have  it done                                                               
within the next couple of days.                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR  ELTON suggested  that it  makes  sense to  wait for  the                                                               
markup before the committee goes through the bill.                                                                              
                                                                                                                                
CHAIR OGAN said that made sense to him, too.                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR STEVENS  moved to adjourn.  There were no  objections and                                                               
the meeting was adjourned at 3:42 p.m.
