 CHAIRMAN SHARP brings up SB 227 (MOTOR VEHICLE RENTAL TERMS) as the           
 next item of business before the Senate Transportation Committee.             
                                                                               
 SENATOR KERTTULA, the prime sponsor of SB 227, calls one of his               
 aides to testify.                                                             
                                                                               
 Number 573                                                                    
                                                                               
 BILL KELDER, Aide to Senator Kerttula, reads the sponsor statement            
 for SB 227.  Mr. Kelder states no one has spoken in opposition to             
 the bill so far.  He believes it will enhance commerce.  SB 227 has           
 zero fiscal notes.  Twenty states already have similar statutes in            
 place.  The absence of this law has created some confusion in the             
 courts as to where the assets belong in a bankruptcy case.                    
                                                                               
 TAPE 94-10, SIDE B                                                            
 Number 594                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN SHARP asks if there are any questions.  Hearing none, he             
 asks the pleasure of the committee.                                           
                                                                               
 Number 593                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR KERTTULA makes a motion to discharge SB 227 from the Senate           
 Transportation Committee with individual recommendations.                     
                                                                               
 Number 591                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN SHARP, hearing no objection, orders SB 227 released from             
 committee with individual recommendations.
