  MS. HORETSKI noted that section 4 in SB 54, as passed by the                 
  Senate, dealt with "automatic waivers" into adult court for                  
  youths aged 16 and older charged with any unclassified or                    
  class A felony.  The entire section 4, she noted, had been                   
  replaced with language which provided that minors aged 16 or                 
  older, who were arraigned and charged with murder in the                     
  first degree, attempted murder in the first degree, or                       
  murder in the second degree would be automatically waived                    
  into adult court.  She mentioned that the new section 4                      
  language mirrored language in the governor's juvenile waiver                 
  bill (HB 189).
