  HB 327:                                                                      
                                                                               
       An Act extending the  termination date of the  Board of                 
       Veterinary Examiners;  and providing  for an  effective                 
       date.                                                                   
                                                                               
                                                                               
  CO-CHAIR   FRANK    invited   Benjamin   Brown,    aide   to                 
  Representative  Toohey,  sponsor  of  HB  327, to  join  the                 
  members at the table.                                                        
                                                                               
  BENJAMIN BROWN said that HB 327 simply extended the Board of                 
  Veterinary  Examiners  for  four  years  and made  no  other                 
  changes to  their statutory  authority or composition  other                 
  than extending their life span to 1997.                                      
                                                                               
  SENATOR RIEGER  said he  had heard  no complaints  regarding                 
  this  Board.   Senator  Kerttula  remarked that  individuals                 
  practiced veterinary services long before they were licensed                 
  by the state.                                                                
                                                                               
  SENATOR KERTTULA MOVED for passage  of the corrected version                 
  of HB  327 from  committee with  individual recommendations.                 
  HB 327 was REPORTED OUT of committee with a "do pass," and a                 
  zero fiscal note  from the Department of Commerce & Economic                 
  Development.  Co-chair  Frank, Senators Kerttula,  Sharp and                 
  Rieger signed "do pass."
