  CHAIRMAN CARL MOSES called the meeting to order at 3:08                      
  p.m., noted members in attendance and informed the committee                 
  that HB 2 was the only item on the agenda, and that                          
  Representative Phillips had a committee substitute.                          
                                                                               
  HB 2:  DRUG TESTING FOR SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS                                   
                                                                               
  REPRESENTATIVE GAIL PHILLIPS, PRIME SPONSOR OF HB 2, advised                 
  members that they should have a CS to HB 2 dated April 6,                    
  1993.  It is different from the original bill in that it                     
  contains section one, which is the findings and purpose.                     
  The bill passed out of the HESS and Judiciary committees in                  
  its original form; in the House Finance Committee, it was                    
  AMENDED to DELETE two references to improper use of drugs                    
  and alcohol on line seven, and another on line eight and                     
  nine of the original version.  The first deletion created no                 
  problem, the second, however was replaced by the term                        
  "illegal use".                                                               
                                                                               
  REPRESENTATIVE PHILLIPS pointed out this amendment caused                    
  concern because those words had not been reviewed by the                     
  House Judiciary Committee.  These two words created more                     
  problems than they solved.  Representative Phillips wished                   
  to change the terminology back to its original form, plus                    
  add the findings section.                                                    
                                                                               
  REPRESENTATIVE PHILLIPS asked that CSHB 2 (RLS) work draft                   
  be adopted.                                                                  
                                                                               
  REPRESENTATIVE BARNES MOVED FOR ADOPTION OF CSHB 2 (RLS).                    
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN MOSES asked if there were objections.  Hearing                      
  none, he ORDERED ADOPTION of CSHB 2 (RLS).  He asked if                      
  there was discussion.                                                        
                                                                               
  REPRESENTATIVE RAMONA BARNES MOVED to PASS CSHB 2 (RLS) from                 
  committee with individual recommendations.                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN MOSES asked if there were objections; hearing none,                 
  he ORDERED CSHB 2 (RLS) MOVED from committee.

  CHAIRMAN MOSES asked members and the audience if there were                  
  further comments.  Hearing none, he adjourned the meeting at
