CLERK: Senator Beutler would move to return the bill.

SPEAKER WITHEM: Senator Beutler.

SENATOR BEUTLER: Senator Withem, members of the Legislature, the motion is to strike the enacting clause, but the purpose is simply to get a couple of matters on record, at the request of some constituencies that are interested in the bill. And to that end, if I may, I would like to address Senator McKenzie, the sponsor of the bill, and get her response to two or three quick questions and that will be the end of the matter. Senator McKenzie, would you yield?

SPEAKER WITHEM: Senator McKenzie, will you respond?

SENATOR McKENZIE: Yes.
