  SENATOR  LEMAN  brought  SJR 11  (REPEAL  OF  REGULATIONS BY                 
  LEGISLATURE)  before  the committee  as  the first  order of                 
  business.                                                                    
                                                                               
  Number 020                                                                   
                                                                               
  SENATOR LEMAN invited the prime  sponsor of SJR 11,  SENATOR                 
  PEARCE, to introduce her bill.                                               
                                                                               
  SENATOR PEARCE  explained that  the resolution  would permit                 
  the  annulment of regulations by joint resolution by the two                 
  houses.  This would allow the  legislature to take action on                 
  poorly considered regulations promulgated by state agencies.                 
  Adoption  of  a  resolution  annulling  a  regulation  would                 
  require  approval  by majority  vote  of  each body  of  the                 
  legislature.                                                                 
                                                                               
  Number 090                                                                   
                                                                               
  SENATOR LEMAN asked what had changed in the legislation that                 
  would lead her to believe that  the response from the voters                 
  would be any different from what it has been the last  three                 
  times this was on  the ballot?  SENATOR PEARCE  replied that                 
  there  is  an  awareness  by   constituents  who  have  been                 
  affected by regulations that have gone beyond the statutes.                  
                                                                               
  Number 135                                                                   
                                                                               
  SENATOR  TAYLOR  moved to  pass SJR  11 from  committee with                 
  individual  recommendations.  Hearing  no objections, it was                 
  so ordered.
