     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives
in S.B. No. 1274, H.D. 1, entitled:  

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY," 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to
recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final
passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this measure is to address a variety of
public safety issues by:

     (1)  Transferring the responsibility of the administration
          of the night security programs for selected public
          schools from the Department of Public Safety to the
          Department of Education; and

     (2)  Providing that the community partnering process shall
          include a community hearing for the purpose of
          soliciting community input when discussing all aspects
          of building a correctional facility.


 
a

     Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this
measure by:

     (1)  Deleting sections 7 through 23 which provided for the
          continuation of a comprehensive schedule of
          intermediate alternatives to incarceration;

     (2)  Deleting section 4 which authorized the governor to use
          public or private funds, including certificates of
          participation, for the development of a private in-
          state correctional facility;

     (3)  Deleting the provision that allowed a private developer
          to include schematic plans and a fixed dollar amount
          dedicated to improvements in the total development
          package;

     (4)  Adding a severability clause;

     (5)  Specifying that the bill take effect upon approval; and

     (6)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the
          purposes of style and clarity.

     Your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent
and purpose of S.B. No. 1274, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto
as S.B. No. 1274, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
