HB 254:  OPEN MEETING ACT                                                    
                                                                               
  Number 166                                                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN VEZEY read the title of HB 37 and invited its                       
  sponsor, Representative John Davies to the table.  He then                   
  noted the introduction of a similar bill, HB 254, which also                 
  deals with the Open Meetings Act, but contains several                       
  differences.  He stated HB 254 was not referred to the House                 
  State Affairs Committee, as had been expected, but it might                  
  be worth the committee's time to look at both bills and                      
  possibly prepare a compromise version.
