 SENATOR HALFORD brought  SB 308  (ADMIN ACTION RE LAND, RESOURCES,            
 PROPERTY) before the committee as the next order of business.                 
                                                                               
 SENATOR LITTLE offered the following amendment to SB 308:                     
                                                                               
 Page 13, line 5:   Delete "limit" and insert "focus"                          
                    Delete "to" and insert "on"                                
                                                                               
 Page 13, line 14:  Delete "is limited" and insert "proceeds"                  
                                                                               
 Page 13, line 18:  Delete "proposed for that phase"                           
                                                                               
 Page 13, line 24:  Delete "proposed for that phase"                           
                                                                               
 She explained the amendment makes the bill consistent with the                
 legislative findings, the Administration's stated intent to coastal           
 districts, and federal regulations.  It addresses a significant               
 concern that was raised by coastal districts relating to phasing.             
                                                                               
 SENATOR DRUE PEARCE, Co-chair of the Senate Finance Committee,                
 testified in opposition to the amendment, stating that it will gut            
 the bill and the effect would be going back to the status quo in              
 not allowing the phasing.                                                     
                                                                               
 SENATOR LITTLE defended her amendment, reiterating that without it            
 the state is inconsistent with federal requirements under the                 
 coastal management planning process in that the bill would allow              
 for limiting the scope of review more than federal regulations                
 allow for.                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN HALFORD called for a roll call vote on the amendment.                
 The roll was taken with the following result:  Senators Zharoff and           
 Little voted "Yea" and Senators Rieger and Halford voted "Nay."               
 The Chairman stated the amendment failed.                                     
                                                                               
 SENATOR RIEGER moved and asked unanimous consent that SB 308 be               
 approved for calendaring at the Chair's discretion.  SENATOR LITTLE           
 objected.  The roll was taken with the following result:  Senators            
 Jacko, Rieger and Halford voted "Yea" and Senators Little and                 
 Zharoff voted "Nay."  The Chairman stated the motion to move SB 308           
 out of committee carried.
