  CHAIR TOOHEY called the meeting to order at 3:08 p.m., noted                 
  members present and announced the calendar.  She brought SB
  160 to the table.                                                            
  SB 160 - MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP LOANS                                          
                                                                               
  CHAIR TOOHEY stated that SB 160 had been discussed in                        
  subcommittee.  She then asked the pleasure of the committee.                 
                                                                               
  REP. VEZEY indicated that there was a subcommittee report.                   
                                                                               
  CHAIR TOOHEY asked Rep. Vezey to inform the committee of the                 
  subcommittee recommendations.

  REP. VEZEY said he still has concerns regarding how the                      
  Department of Administration (DOA) is handling the funds                     
  involved.  He indicated that although his concerns are not                   
  related to the substance of the legislation, he would pursue                 
  further investigation of the matter with the DOA because he                  
  felt that perhaps the state is participating in tax fraud.                   
  He reiterated that his concerns are unrelated to the intent                  
  of the bill.                                                                 
                                                                               
  Number 076                                                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIR TOOHEY asked if the committee would like to accept the                 
  recommendations of the subcommittee.

  REP. KOTT suggested that if there was no testimony to be                     
  heard, the committee should pass the slate of nominees,
