SENATOR KEVIN  MEYER, SPONSOR, provided  the history  of the                                                                    
bill.  He pointed  out that  not  all judges  are using  the

the bill closes loopholes.                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                
Senator Meyer  said there was  no fiscal impact  because the                                                                    
law is already in place.
