SB 244 - POLYGRAPHS FOR CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS                         
                                                                               
SENATOR WARD, sponsor of SB 244 presented the bill, which he says              
allows for the administration of polygraph tests to correctional               
officers. He pointed out this is the same standard used for police             
officers and this bill was requested by the correctional officers              
themselves. He said it will be used as a policing and recruiting               
mechanism and  remarked that the Alaska Peace Officers Association             
also endorses the bill.                                                        
                                                                               
SENATOR WARD moved SB 244 out of committee with individual                     
recommendations and a zero fiscal note. Without objection, it was              
so ordered.
