SJR 14 CONFIRMATION OF BD MANAGING PERM FUND CHAIRMAN ROBIN TAYLOR called the Senate Judiciary Committee meeting to order at 1:39 p.m. All members were present except Senator Ellis, who was excused from the floor of the Senate. The first order of business was SJR 14. SENATOR RICK HALFORD, sponsor of SJR 14, gave the following testimony on the proposed sponsor substitute for SJR 14. Last year lengthy discussion occurred in an attempt to define which public corporations should be added to the list of boards requiring legislative confirmation of members. No conclusion was reached. SSSJR 14 simply applies the requirement of legislative confirmation to members of the Permanent Fund Corporation. Because there is no simple way to include other public corporations, this measure is exclusive to the Permanent Fund Corporation, the most important. He stated it is ridiculous that the Legislature must confirm members of the Board of Barbers and Hairdressers yet does not confirm members of the Permanent Fund Corporation. SENATOR HALFORD explained a proposed technical amendment to correct a drafting error. On page 1, line 2, after "appointments" insert "and removal," and on page 2 line 4, after "removed" insert "only for cause." Number 065 There being no further discussion on SSSJR 14, SENATOR GREEN moved to adopt the sponsor substitute for SJR 14. There being no objection, the motion carried. SENATOR MILLER moved adoption of the proposed amendment to SSSJR 14. There being no objection, the motion carried. SENATOR MILLER moved SSSJR 14, as amended, out of committee with individual recommendations. SENATOR ADAMS objected. The motion carried with Senators Taylor, Green, and Miller voting "yea," and Senator Adams voting "nay." SENATOR ADAMS informed committee members he will recommend to the Democratic minority that any constitutional amendments scheduled by the majority for a floor vote fail on the Senate floor, until minority members have the same scheduling opportunity. SENATOR TAYLOR asked if there was a particular constitutional am endment Senator Adams had in mind. SENATOR ADAMS replied there was not one in particular, however anytime the majority is willing, he would recommend one for scheduling. There being no further business before the committee, SENATOR TAYLOR adjourned the meeting at 1:44 p.m.
