HB  98-HANDLING OF STATE FLAG                                                                              
                                                                                                                                
9:15:07 AM                                                                                                                    
CHAIR  WIELECHOWSKI  announced the  consideration  of  HB 98  and                                                               
noted it was heard last week. He  asked for a motion to adopt the                                                               
proposed [Senate]  committee substitute  (CS). He  explained that                                                               
it adds the words  "in a public facility" to page  1, lines 4 and                                                               
6. This  is to  clarify that  these provisions  apply only  to an                                                               
official display of  the flag in a public  location. Some concern                                                               
was  expressed  about  dictating  how  the  flag  could  be  used                                                               
privately, which was probably not the intent of the sponsor.                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
9:16:11 AM                                                                                                                    
SENATOR PASKVAN  moved to adopt the  work draft Senate CS  for HB                                                               
[98], labeled 27-LS0014\B as the working document.                                                                              
                                                                                                                                
CHAIR WIELECHOWSKI objected for discussion purposes.                                                                            
                                                                                                                                
9:17:15 AM                                                                                                                    
JEANNE OSTNESS,  staff to  Representative Craig  Johnson, sponsor                                                               
of HB  98, said  the sponsor  had no objection  to the  CS, which                                                               
makes the one small change that Chair Wielechowski explained.                                                                   
                                                                                                                                
CHAIR WIELECHOWSKI removed  his objection and asked  for a motion                                                               
to move the bill.                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                
9:18:01 AM                                                                                                                    
SENATOR PASKVAN moved to report the  Senate CS for HB 98, version
