 SENATOR RANDY PHILLIPS brought  SB 255  (STATE POLICY ON HUMAN                
 RESOURCE DEVELOPMT) before the committee, noting there was a                  
 proposed committee substitute which incorporates Senator Adams'               
 request to include the Department of Fish and Game, as well as a              
 new zero fiscal note.                                                         
                                                                               
 Number 096                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR LEMAN moved that CSSB 255(CRA) (work draft 8-LS1424\U) be             
 adopted.  Hearing no objection, the motion carried.                           
                                                                               
 SENATOR LEMAN stated that he wasn't sure that the language in                 
 subsection (e) on page 2 conveyed a change that he had suggested at           
 a previous meeting.  His point was that the social service programs           
 of the state shall be structured instead of just providing an                 
 avenue for people; to send them on down that road, and to encourage           
 them to get off of welfare and get into the productive work role.             
                                                                               
 SENATOR LEMAN moved the following amendment to subsection (e) on              
 page 2 of CSSB 255(CRA):                                                      
                                                                               
  "(e)  Social service programs of the state shall encourage                   
 people who are unemployed to make the transition from welfare to              
 employment and self-sufficiency.  Public officials responsible for            
 these programs shall coordinate the public assistance, social                 
 services, and human resource development services available to a              
 client."                                                                      
                                                                               
 SENATOR ADAMS objected to the amendment.  The roll was taken with             
 the following result:  Senators Taylor, Leman and Phillips voted              
 "Yea" and Senator Adams voted "Nay."  The Chairman stated the                 
 amendment was adopted.                                                        
                                                                               
 Number 156                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR TAYLOR moved that CSSB 255(CRA), as amended, be passed out            
 of committee with individual recommendations.  SENATOR ADAMS                  
 objected, stating that his objection was not to the legislation,              
 but because a new fiscal note had just been received and it was the           
 chairman's policy that a bill would not move out of committee on              
 the same day a fiscal note is received.  SENATOR PHILLIPS  pointed            
 out that it was a zero fiscal note, otherwise he would hold the               
 bill to take a look at it.  The roll was taken with the following             
 result:  Senators Leman, Taylor and Phillips voted "Yea" and                  
 Senator Adams voted "Nay."  The Chairman stated the motion carried.
