Ginnaty to the Occupational Safety and Health Review Board. The committee reviewed the resume of Mr. Ginnaty. Number 055 REP. SITTON moved confirmation of Mr. Ginnaty. No objections were heard so Mr. Ginnaty's confirmation was sent forth with individual recommendations. Number 065 CHAIRMAN HUDSON brought up SB 64. SB 64 - IMMUNITY FOR SAFETY INSPECTIONS Number 075 REP. GREEN asked for an update on SB 64 and HB 241. Number 090 REP. MULDER explained to the committee that he had been encouraging all sides to this issue to come to some compromise to no avail. Rep. Mulder felt that passage of SB 64 would only advance one side of the issue and further endanger any hopes of successful negotiations of the ad hoc task force on worker's compensation reform. REP. MULDER contended that if SB 64 were to pass, labor would never participate again and that would not be good public policy. Number 117 CHAIRMAN HUDSON called for a roll call vote on passage of SB 64: Rep. Williams nay Rep. Green nay Rep. Sitton nay Rep. Mulder nay Rep. Hudson nay Rep. Porter absent REp. Mackie absent CHAIRMAN HUDSON announced the failure of SB 64 to pass the committee. CHAIRMAN HUDSON adjourned the meeting at 3:15 p.m.
