"An Act relating to the increase of an appropriation                           
item based on additional federal or other program                              
receipts."                                                                     
                                                                               
Senate Bill 347 was previously heard on 5/5/98.                                
Representative Grussendorf felt that the Legislative Budget                    
and Audit Committee should handle some of the issues, but                      
stated that he would not offer any amendments.                                 
                                                                               
Representative Mulder MOVED to report SB 347 out of                            
Committee with the accompanying fiscal note.  Representative                   
Davies OBJECTED.  He maintained that the existing system has                   
worked and that the legislation is unnecessary.                                
                                                                               
A roll call vote was taken on the motion to move the                           
legislation.                                                                   
                                                                               
IN FAVOR: Foster, Kelly, Kohring, Martin, Moses, Mulder,

The MOTION PASSED (8-3).
