reporting the bill  out would create delays on  the floor and

Representative  Ortiz opposed  the motion.  He believed  that                                                                   
the  committee needed  more  time to  consider  the bill  and

Co-Chair Edgmon  supported moving the bill out  of committee.                                                                   
He thought  that a perfect  solution was not  obtainable, and                                                                   
the bill  offered a simple  solution that had  broad support.                                                                   
He  added  that  it  was  a  temporary   solution  and  could                                                                   
possibly  prevent  a  special  session.  He  emphasized  that                                                                   
immediate action  was necessary  and acknowledged  that there                                                                   
would be a lengthy discussion on the floor.
