     The purpose of this bill is to continue discretion in

     Your Committee has amended the bill by:

     (1)  Changing the effective date from July 1, 2001, to June
          29, 1999; and

          and clarity.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
