CHAIR CON BUNDE announced SB 194 to be up for consideration.                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR  GARY   STEVENS,  sponsor,  explained  that   this  issue                                                               
initially arose  because a  florist in  Seward wanted  to deliver                                                               
gift baskets  with alcohol  to cruise ships.  There was  a change                                                               
that  allowed  wine and  champagne  to  be  delivered in  a  gift                                                               
basket,  but  this  bill  would allow  distilled  spirits  to  be                                                               
delivered  either  to cruise  ships  or  to  hotels in  a  floral                                                               
arrangement.                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
CHAIR BUNDE asked if anyone had expressed opposition.                                                                           
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR STEVENS said he hadn't  heard of any opposition. He moved                                                               
to  pass  SB  194  from  committee  with  zero  fiscal  note  and                                                               
individual recommendations.  There were no objections  and it was                                                               
so ordered.
