CHAIR ELLIS announced SCR 5 to be up for consideration.                                                                         
                                                                                                                                
DOUG GARDNER,  Director, Division of Legislative  Legal Services,                                                               
said  he  review the  2010  Mason's  with  Tam Cook,  the  former                                                               
director  and they  found that  the  2010 Index  ws very  helpful                                                               
compared  to  old one.  They  also  found  that some  cases  were                                                               
outdated and  some weren't as  thoroughly reviewed as in  the new                                                               
version.  Most of  the  changes are  undramatic  and the  current

SENATOR  STEVENS  asked   if  when  the  new   edition  would  be                                                               
available.

SENATOR STEVENS  said it would  be nice  for someone like  him to                                                               
lead the legislature through a  review of Mason's as members need                                                               
to be brought up to date on changes as well as what it is about.                                                                
                                                                                                                                
MR.  GARDNER  said  a good  time  to  do  that  would be  at  the

the 2010 edition already, and training is a good idea.                                                                          
                                                                                                                                
12:09:50 PM
