       Amendments  #1  and  #4  had  been  previously adopted.                 
       Amendment #3,  which had  been held,  was not  offered.                 
       SENATOR  PARNELL  MOVED Amendment  #5.   COCHAIR  SHARP                 
       objected, then withdrew his objection.   There being no                 
       further objection, Amendment #5  was ADOPTED.   SENATOR                 
       PARNELL  MOVED   CSSB  136(FIN)  from   committee  with                 
       individual  recommendations  and  a zero  fiscal  note.                 
       Without objection, CSSB 136(FIN) was REPORTED OUT  with                 
       a zero  fiscal note from  the Office of  Management and                 
       Budget.                                                                 
                                                                               
                                                                               
  COCHAIR  SHARP  explained  that  the  bill  had  been  heard                 
  previously (3-21-97).  Amendments #1 and #4 had been adopted                 
  and there was an additional amendment before the committee.                  
                                                                               
  SENATOR PARNELL informed  the committee  he would not  offer                 
  Amendment  #3.  SENATOR PARNELL MOVED Amendment #5.  COCHAIR                 
  SHARP  objected  for the  purpose  of explanation.   SENATOR                 
  PARNELL explained  that it would  require a report  from OMB                 
  detailing what funds and  how much was expected to  lapse in                 
  the fiscal year  to be submitted  to the legislature by  the                 
  45th legislative day.   He justified that "we're gonna  know                 
  what  they  need to  make  up  in their  budget  through the                 
  supplemental process, we ought to also know how much money's                 
  left over in the budget to work with."                                       
                                                                               
                                                                               
  SENATOR  ADAMS  asked  to   hear  from  the   administration                 
  concerning the amendment.  COCHAIR SHARP noted  there was no                 
  one present to testify on behalf  of the administration.  He                 
  then  withdrew  his  objection.    There  being  no  further                 
  objection, Amendment #5 was ADOPTED.                                         
                                                                               
  SENATOR  PARNELL  MOVED CSSB  136(FIN)  from  committee with                 
  individual recommendations and a zero  fiscal note.  Without                 
  objection, CSSB 136(FIN) was REPORTED OUT with a zero fiscal                 
  note from the Office of Management and Budget.
