  SB 122:  EMPLOYER'S LIABILITY FOR REFERENCE INFO                             
                                                                               
  Number 099                                                                   
                                                                               
  GAYLE HORETSKI, COMMITTEE COUNSEL, HOUSE JUDICIARY                           
  COMMITTEE, called the members' attention to a draft                          
  committee substitute for SB 122, dated April 9, 1993.  She                   
  mentioned that a companion bill, HB 147, which the House                     
  Judiciary Committee had passed out earlier, was currently in                 
  the House Rules Committee.  She stated that the draft                        
  committee substitute for SB 122 included language at the                     
  bottom of page 1 and the top of page 2 which had been lifted                 
  from the House Judiciary Committee's substitute for HB 147.                  
                                                                               
  MS. HORETSKI said that the draft committee substitute had                    
  two additional differences from the House Judiciary                          
  Committee's version of HB 147.  She added that those two                     
  differences were part of the bill which the Senate had                       
  passed.  The first change appeared on page 1, line 11, where                 
  the phrase "employer or" was added, in order to clarify that                 
  the bill applied to both present and former employers who                    
  gave out references.  The other change appeared on page 2,                   
  line 2, and added the word "comparable," to clarify that the                 
  bill referred to federal civil rights laws, not all federal                  
  laws.                                                                        
                                                                               
  Number 199                                                                   
                                                                               
  MS. HORETSKI described the changes that the committee had                    
  made to the original HB 147.
