  REP. PETE KOTT, PRIME SPONSOR, spoke on HB 196.  Rep. Kott

  REP. WILLIS asked if this parallels what the federal                         
  government has in place.                                                     
                                                                               
  REP. KOTT stated that it parallels closely to what the                       
  federal government has in place.                                             
                                                                               
  KEVIN RITCHIE, DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF PERSONNEL/EEO,                          
  DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION, stated that the overview of                    
  the bill was accurate and that the Department of                             
  Administration supported the bill.                                           
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN MULDER asked if Mr. Ritchie could answer Rep.                       
  Willis' question as to whether it parallels the federal                      
  government.                                                                  
                                                                               
  MR. RITCHIE stated he did not know.                                          
                                                                               
  REP. WILLIS asked that HB 196 be moved out of committee with                 
  individual recommendations and accompanying fiscal note.                     
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN MULDER so ordered the bill out of committee without                 
  any objections.
