CHAIRMAN LEMAN brings up SB 242 (HOURS FOR STATE OFFICES) as the              
 next order of business before the State Affairs Committee.                    
                                                                               
 Number 100                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR TAYLOR asks Mr. McMullen of the Department of                         
 Administration to make a statement.                                           
                                                                               
 Number 106                                                                    
                                                                               
 MIKE MCMULLEN, Division of Personnel, Department of Administration            
 (DOA), states the department supports SB 242, but would prefer to             
 see the provisions in SB 242 implemented by regulation, not by law.           
 DOA is concerned there would be expectations from the public that             
 there would be increased services provided by the state, under SB             
 242.                                                                          
                                                                               
 Number 130                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR TAYLOR states he is in complete agreement with DOA, and so            
 he recommends the bill be advanced to the Rules Committee and be              
 held there.                                                                   
                                                                               
 Number 137                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN LEMAN asks if there is anyone else who wishes to testify             
 on SB 242.  Hearing none, he asks what the pleasure of the                    
 committee is.                                                                 
                                                                               
 Number 140                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR TAYLOR makes a motion to release SB 242 from the State                
 Affairs Committee with individual recommendations.                            
                                                                               
 Number 143                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR LEMAN, hearing no objection, orders SB 242 be released from           
 committee with individual recommendations.
