<br />4-14 Senate Committee <br />Interviewer, Interviewee <br /> <br />Page 14 of 37 <br /> <br />could discuss and share that with the committee at this time or we <br />can- <br /> <br />Chairman: <br /> <br />Are there any questions from the committee for Mr. McNulty on <br />the pre-amended version before we go to this specific amendment? <br />Seeing none. Mr. McNulty, please continue. <br /> <br />Frank McNlIlty: <br /> <br />Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We do have L-026, which has been <br />drafted. If you would please turn to page 8 of your pre-amended <br />Bill and we will look at line 15, in discussions with the members of <br />the environmental community, there was interest that they be able <br />to nominate folks that would be chosen for this position. This <br />process will not work if we don't have tme environmentalists <br />representing the environmental community; that farmers and <br />ranchers representing the agricultural community. This made <br />some sense and we told them that we would work with them on <br />this amendment and we did. <br /> <br />You have it in front of you; I won't bother reading it to you. The <br />other question that came up is, how do we judge how effective this <br />inter-basin compact committee is working? Is there any way that <br />legislature can keep, can monitor this process; ensure that we are <br />properly using the tax payers dollars and that we're moving <br />forward? <br /> <br />The second part ofL-026 requires that he inter-basin compact <br />committee report back to House and Senate Ag. committees <br />October 31 st of each year. So, that is the sum of that amendment <br />Mr. Chairman and I will answer any questions your members <br />might have. <br /> <br />Chairman: Senator Taylor. <br /> <br />Sella tor Taylor: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You switched bills on us, I think. You <br />were working from the pre-amendment one and then when you go <br />to 26, page 8, there's no word interest in there. So, I think we then <br />to re-engrossed version, is that correct? <br /> <br />Chairman: Mr. McNulty. <br /> <br />Frallk McNlIlty: Mr. Chairman, thank you. The - if we are looking at the unofficial <br />pre-amended version, it is page 8, line 15. <br /> <br />Chairman: Any fi.lrther questions for Mr. McNulty? Senator Hillman. <br /> <br />www.escriptionist.com Page 14 of 37 <br />
