Number 165                                                                   
                                                                               
  SB 220 - ADD "CAT" TO SCHEDULE IIA DRUG LIST                                 
                                                                               
  Number 178                                                                   
                                                                               
  JOHN QUEBBEMANN, Intern, Senator Johnny Ellis', Prime                        
  Sponsor of SB 220, urged the committee to support the bill                   
  including "CAP" and described the process of concocting                      
  illegal "designer" drugs, listing some of the ingredients.                   
  Mr. Quebbemann relayed that Senator Ellis would be in favor                  
  of the bill.                                                                 
                                                                               
  REP. JAMES asked if there was some way to change the                         
  statute, making similar concoctions illegal, if the intent                   
  was for mind altering drugs.                                                 
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN PORTER, in discussion with DEP. COMM. SWACKHAMMER                   
  and JOHN QUEBBEMANN, brought up the fact that proof of                       
  intent for using the concoctions as drugs would be rather                    
  difficult, since some precursors are everyday household                      
  items obtained from hardware stores, such as battery acid                    
  and "Draino".                                                                
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN PORTER then concluded the discussion of SB 220.
