HCR 34 - JT COM ON ELEC UTILITY RESTRUCTURING Number 0130 CHAIRMAN ROKEBERG announced the committee's first order of business would be HCR 34, Establishing a Joint Committee on Electric Utility Restructuring. REPRESENTATIVE JERRY SANDERS made a motion to rescind the committee's action on the proposed committee substitute for HCR 34 [April 6, 1998]. There being no objections, it was so ordered. Number 0138 REPRESENTATIVE TOM BRICE made a motion to move to HCR 34 out of committee as amended, with individual recommendations and any fiscal notes. Number 0150 REPRESENTATIVE SANDERS objected for discussion. He thanked the chairman for his indulgence in allowing the committee to hold HCR 34 shortly, noting the motion had passed but the chairman had backed up and allowed the members to vote. With that comment, Representative Sanders withdrew his objection. REPRESENTATIVE BRICE asked to make a short statement before the objection was withdrawn. He stated, "As this bill does move through, I hope that we can provide a little bit more thought though into possibly allowing some form of industry representation on this committee that this legislation seeks to establish, as well as possibly extending the length of time. It is a complicated issue, but I would just encourage the chair to continue to look at those issues." Number 0230 CHAIRMAN ROKEBERG assured Representative Brice if the chairman has any part, the industry will be more than adequately represented in any way, shape or form. There being no further objection, CSHCR 34(L&C) moved out of the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee.
