 SENATOR KELLY announced  SB 298  (LICENSING OF PHYSICIANS) to be up           
 for consideration.                                                            
                                                                               
 DON LYMAN, President, Alaska State Medical Association, supported             
 SB 298.                                                                       
                                                                               
 He suggested that "shall" be changed to "may" on page 1, line 5.              
 SENATOR SALO and SENATOR RIEGER had problems with changing that,              
 because they thought a face to face interview would be helpful.               
                                                                               
 SENATOR SALO asked if he knew of anyone being rejected after an               
 interview.  MR. LYMAN said he wasn't certain.  He had talked to a             
 member of the Medical Board who thought the language change was a             
 good idea.                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR RIEGER moved to pass CSSB 298(HES) with individual                    
 recommendations.  There were no objections and it was so ordered.
