SB 54 OFFENSES BY JUVENILE OFFENDERS                                         
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN PORTER announced that the committee would next                      
  address a Senate letter of intent for SB 54, which the                       
  committee had failed to adopt when it passed the bill out of                 
  committee at an earlier hearing.                                             
                                                                               
  Number 466                                                                   
                                                                               
  GAYLE HORETSKI, COMMITTEE COUNSEL TO THE HOUSE JUDICIARY                     
  COMMITTEE, explained that the letter of intent adopted by                    
  the Senate dealt with records of juveniles.  She said that                   
  there was some question as to whether it was necessary for                   
  the House to adopt the letter of intent, given changes which                 
  had been made to the bill since it passed the Senate.  But,                  
  she said, in order to be on the safe side, she was bringing                  
  the Senate's letter of intent to the committee's attention.                  
                                                                               
  REP. DAVIDSON asked for a brief explanation of what the                      
  Senate letter of intent said, as well as what the letter of                  
  intent adopted by the Judiciary Committee said.                              
                                                                               
  Number 496                                                                   
                                                                               
  MS. HORETSKI replied that the letter of intent adopted by                    
  the Judiciary Committee at its hearing on SB 54 dealt with                   
  the issue of substantive versus procedural changes in the                    
  law.                                                                         
                                                                               
  Number 503                                                                   
                                                                               
  REP. PHILLIPS made a motion to adopt the Senate letter of                    
  intent for SB 54.  There being no objection, it was adopted.
