SENATOR TAYLOR brought  HB 181 am  (APPEALS BY STATE IN CRIMINAL              
 CASES) before the committee as the next order of business.                    
                                                                               
 Number 185                                                                    
                                                                               
 ERIC MUSSER, staff to Representative Brian Porter, said the                   
 thrust of HB 181 is to allow the state a right of appeal in                   
 adjudicated criminal cases without infringing on a defendant's                
 constitutional right to double jeopardy.  He noted Margo Knuth                
 of the Department of Law was present to address any technical                 
 questions on the legislation.                                                 
                                                                               
 There being no further testimony on HB 181 am, SENATOR TAYLOR                 
 asked for the pleasure of the committee.                                      
                                                                               
 SENATOR DONLEY moved that HB 181 am be passed out of committee                
 with individual recommendations.  Hearing no objection, it was                
 so ordered.
