CONFIRMATION HEARINGS CHAIR ANDERSON announced that the only order of business would be the confirmation hearings for 29 of the governor's appointments to various boards as listed above in the committee calendar. He noted that each committee member was provided with the names and resumes for each of the 29 appointments. Although inquiries were made to some of the appointees in order to determine interest in testifying before the committee, there was no positive response. Additionally, Chair Anderson related that the committee members appear to be satisfied with the qualifications of these appointees and thus no requests for interviews were made. CHAIR ANDERSON asked if there were any objections to any of the appointees. There being no objection, Chair Anderson requested that each member sign the confirmation committee report. He noted that each member's signature does not reflect the member's vote during the joint floor session. ADJOURNMENT  There being no further business before the committee, the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 3:18 p.m.
