CO-CHAIR SNYDER, responding  to Representative McCarty, confirmed                                                               
that last week the committee heard [CSHB 105(JUD)].                                                                             
                                                                                                                                
3:48:50 PM                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
REPRESENTATIVE KURKA  suggested merging HB  105 and HB  116 given                                                               
the two  bills overlap  significantly and  the desire  for timely                                                               
passage of both bills.                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                
CO-CHAIR SNYDER concurred and stated  that HB 105 was slowed down                                                               
for this reason.  She  said conversations are still ongoing about                                                               
what a  merge might  look like.   The  intention in  hearing both                                                               
bills separately  today but taking  no action, she  explained, is                                                               
to allow for  questions to be answered given they  would still be                                                               
pertinent should the bills be combined.                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                
REPRESENTATIVE  KURKA  inquired  about  a memo  that  listed  the                                                               
duplicative changes or similarities proposed in both bills.                                                                     
                                                                                                                                
CO-CHAIR  SNYDER replied  that "the  crosswalk" was  sent to  the
