         The chair called the meeting to order at 3:20 p.m.  There being  
         a quorum present, the following business was transacted:   
          
         The chair laid out SB 1828.  Senator Wentworth moved to  
         reconsider the vote by which the committee substitute was  
         adopted and voted out.  The committee will now adopt a new  
         committee substitute.  Senator Wentworth sent up a new committee  
         substitute; the chair recognized Senator Estes to explain the  
         difference between the committee substitute and the bill as  
         filed.  Senator Wentworth moved adoption of the committee  
         substitute; without objection, it was so ordered.  Senator  
         Wentworth moved that SB 1828 do not pass but that CSSB 1828 be  
         reported back to the Senate with the recommendation that it do  
         pass and be printed.  The motion carried with a record vote of 5  
         ayes, 0 nay, 0 present not voting, and 0 absent.  Senator  
         Wentworth moved that the bill be recommended for placement on  
         the Local & Uncontested Calendar; without objection, it was so  
         ordered.   
          
         There being no further business, at 3:22 p.m. Senator Madla  
         moved that the Committee stand recessed subject to the call of  
         the chair.  Without objection, it was so ordered.
