  Senator Kelly explained that the subcommittee considering SB                 
  251 met and wishes to propose  an amendment that would place                 
  a three-year sunset on ability to borrow money  for payments                 
  of taxes.   Co-chair Pearce voiced OBJECTION  for discussion                 
  purposes and advised  of her understanding the  Senate Labor

  presently   provides    for   loans   for    IRS   payments,                 
  refrigeration,  and  refinancing   of  existing  loans  from                 
  conventional institutions to provide longer-term state loans                 
  with lower interest rates.  He further advised that CSSB 251                 
  (L&C)  capped loans  for tax  purposes  at $30.0.   Co-chair

  called for objections to adoption.  No objection having been                 
  raised,  Amendment No. 1  was ADOPTED.   Senator Kelly MOVED

  recommendations.  No objection having  been raised, CSSB 251                 
  (Fin) was REPORTED OUT of committee  with a zero fiscal note
