  HB 320 - PUBLIC SCHOOL HEALTH AND SAFETY EDUCATION                           
                                                                               
  CHAIR TOOHEY stated that there was a committee substitute                    
  (CS) that had been previously adopted for HB 320 and then                    
  asked for comment from Rep. G. Davis.                                        
                                                                               
  Number 142                                                                   
                                                                               
  REP. G. DAVIS said his concerns about mandates and the issue                 
  of grade level/content appropriateness had been resolved.                    
  He said content of education is at the discretion of the                     
  school district and there is an opt-out inclusion within the                 
  bill.                                                                        
                                                                               
  REP. BRICE asked if the opt-out clause was new.                              
                                                                               
  CHAIR TOOHEY said no.                                                        
                                                                               
  Number 191                                                                   
                                                                               
  REP. OLBERG asked if the fiscal note was still for $452,000.                 
                                                                               
  CHAIR TOOHEY said the fiscal note had been revised to show                   
  $39,400.  She said the decrease was the result of removing                   
  mandates on everything except the HIV/AIDS curriculum.  She                  
  said all other health educational programs would be strongly                 
  urged.                                                                       
                                                                               
  REP. BUNDE made a motion to pass CSHB 320 out of committee                   
  with accompanying fiscal note.  He then indicated that Rep.                  
  Vezey had pointed out that a voice vote was required in an                   
  open hearing.  Reps. Brice, Nicholia, Olberg, Toohey, Bunde,                 
  and G. Davis verbally voted "yea."  The CS for HB 320 was so                 
  moved.                                                                       
                                                                               
  Number 282                                                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIR TOOHEY brought HB 472 to the table.
