  VEZEY opened HB 378 for discussion.  He stated the committee                 
  should have before them a copy of the latest committee                       
  substitute.  The committee had adopted in a previous                         
  meeting, REPRESENTATIVE G. DAVIS's amendment, which would                    
  change the person who would chair the committee from being                   
  appointed by the Governor, to being elected by the                           
  committee.  CHAIRMAN VEZEY asked the committee for their                     
  opinion of the editing by the statute writer on page 2, line                 
  25, where the word "chairman" has been changed to "chair",                   
  and on page 2, line 31, the word "chairperson" has been                      
  changed to "chair."                                                          
                                                                               
  REPRESENTATIVE GARY DAVIS replied he was neutral about the                   
  changes.                                                                     
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN VEZEY expressed that he did not care for the                        
  terminology.  He asked the committee's pleasure.

  REPRESENTATIVE G. DAVIS moved CSHB 378 be passed from

  CHAIRMAN VEZEY explained the committee substitute for HB                     
  378, just passed out of committee had not been formally
