SENATOR PHILLIPS  said he  wanted assurance  that all of the  repeal                                                            
sections  should  be  included  in  the  bill.    He  asked  for  an                                                            
explanation of Section 14.                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                
MS.  BARBARA  MIKLOS, Director  of  the  Child  Support Enforcement                                                             
Division (CSED),  said the repeals in Section 14 are  the repeals of                                                            
the original sunsets  on the first bill.  Sections  1 through 13 put                                                            
new sunsets  on the language pertaining  to social security  and the                                                            
financial  data match.  She  noted she does  not understand  the one                                                            
that refers to canned salmon.                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                
MR.  KEVIN  SHORES, Human  Services  Division,  Department  of  Law,                                                            
explained that  two child support laws were passed;  Chapter 87, SLA                                                            
1997  and  Chapter  132,  SLA  1998.    Those  were   the  principal                                                            
legislative  vehicles in which federal  welfare reform requirements                                                             
were implemented  in the state.  Those  two pieces of law  contained                                                            
sunset provisions.    The primary effect of Section  14 is to repeal                                                            
those sunset provisions.   He noted that according  to the sectional                                                            
analysis, a  portion of that section  refers to Senator Austerman's                                                             
canned  salmon  processor  reporting bill.    He believes  that  was                                                            
included because  changes were made  to the canned salmon  reporting                                                            
requirement law independent  of the child support provisions.  Those                                                            
involved with  the canned salmon reporting  requirement do  not want                                                            
those changes to sunset.                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR ELLIS moved to  calendar all versions of SB 19.  There being                                                            
no objection, the motion carried.
