  CHAIRMAN WILKEN  called the Senate Health, Education & Social                
 Services Committee (HES) to order at 3:05 p.m. and introduced                 
 SB 36  as the only order of business before the committee.  SB 142,           
 SB 193, and SB 182 will be held to Wednesday's meeting.  Chairman             
 Wilken noted that SB 36 had received three and a half days of                 
 testimony.  Chairman Wilken said that he would entertain a motion.            
                                                                               
  SENATOR LEMAN  moved to report SB 36 out of committee with                   
 individual recommendations and accompanying fiscal notes.                     
                                                                               
  SENATOR ELLIS  objected.  Senator Ellis moved to amend the motion by         
 replacing SB 36 with SB 146.  SB 146 has received the most work and           
 is more acceptable than SB 36.                                                
                                                                               
  SENATOR GREEN  objected to Senator Ellis' motion.                            
                                                                               
 Upon a roll call vote, Senators Wilken, Leman, and Green voted                
 "Nay" and Senator Ellis voted "Yea".  Therefore, the amended motion           
 failed.                                                                       
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN WILKEN  stated that the question now before the committee           
 was whether to report SB 36 out of committee.                                 
                                                                               
  SENATOR ELLIS  maintained his objection.                                     
                                                                               
 Upon a roll call vote, Senators Wilken, Leman, and Green voted                
 "Yea" and Senator Ellis voted "Nay".  Therefore, SB 36 was reported           
 out of committee.                                                             
                                                                               
 There being no further business before the committee, the meeting             
 was adjourned at 3:06 p.m.
