CHAIRMAN RIEGER called the Senate Health, Education and Social                
 Services (HESS) Committee to order at 5:05 p.m.  He brought  CSHB             
 412(HES) am  (COMMUNITY CARE FACILITIES) before the committee as the     e    
 first order of business.   He explained the legislation is almost             
 identical to SB 268 which was previously heard by the committee.              
 The committee adopted a committee substitute which had language               
 that exempts small private foster homes where there was placement             
 of children for up to 45 days.  The House version allows private              
 placement of children without a time limitation.                              
                                                                               
 There being no questions on CSHB 412(HES) am, CHAIRMAN RIEGER asked           
 for the pleasure of the committee.                                            
                                                                               
 SENATOR MILLER moved that CSHB 412(HES) am be passed out of                   
 committee with individual recommendations.  Hearing no objection,             
 it was so ordered.
