[No objection was stated; therefore Version N was treated as before the committee.] 9:01:10 AM TED MADSEN, Staff, Representative Max Gruenberg, Alaska State Legislature, explained the changes made in Version N. The first change was to incorporate an amendment adopted by the committee without objection during the previous hearing of HB 10 [on 1/31/13], which changed "or mental" to ", intellectual, or developmental", on [page 3, line 12 of the original bill version], which is found on page 3, line 5 of Version N. The second change, he said, was to delete the language of Sections 4 and 5 from the original bill. Mr. Madsen explained that that language dealt with attorneys' fees. He noted that there was also a corresponding title change made in Version N to reflect the deletion of those sections. 9:03:08 AM REPRESENTATIVE GATTIS moved to report CSHB 10, Version 28- LS0040\N, Wayne, 2/15/13 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSHB 10(STA) was reported out of the House State Affairs Standing Committee.
