4. Items from Members and Staff
Responding to a question from Mr. Clark about the status of Senate Bill 0764, the bill related to alcohol
impact areas, Ms. Wilson said the bill was scheduled for a work session. Amendments had been proposed
and were being reviewed by the bill’s sponsor. She hoped the amendments allayed the concerns expressed
by opponents to the bill.
Responding to a question from Mayor Piercy, Ms. Wilson assured the committee that she would return with
any bills that were passed by the committee without a change in recommendation if it appeared they were
being revised to a degree that justified additional review.
Mr. Poling adjourned the meeting at 2 p.m.
