for payment for overtime under a voluntary written agreement for               
certain employees in the airline industry; and providing for an                
effective date."                                                               
                                                                               
REPRESENTATIVE JOHN COWDERY made a motion to adopt the proposed                
committee substitute for HB 389, labeled 0-LS1448\E, Cramer, dated             
4/27/98.  There being no objections, the proposed committee                    
substitute was adopted.                                                        
                                                                               
[BEGINNING OF RECORDED TESTIMONY]                                              
                                                                               
TAPE 98-56, SIDE A                                                             
Number 0001                                                                    
                                                                               
REPRESENTATIVE COWDERY stated, "... and we had some problems, our -            
our labor people got together with the employees and worked out                
this committee substitute."  He indicated it was unlikely the                  
legislation would make it through the process because it was so                
late in the session, but he would like to move the legislation                 
unless "labor" or somebody wanted to speak.  Representative Cowdery            
made motion to move the proposed committee substitute for HB 389               
out of committee with individual recommendations and the attached              
zero fiscal note.                                                              
                                                                               
Number 0052                                                                    
                                                                               
CHAIRMAN ROKEBERG asked if there were any objections.  There being             
none, CSHB 389(L&C) was moved out of the House Labor and Commerce              
Standing Committee.
