Mme. Chair: Two -tier? <br /> Sen. Entz: Uh hmm (affirmative). And we also, I think the Committee also <br /> received a couple letters and one from the Attorney General's Office <br /> and also one from the State Engineer's Office. <br /> Mme. Chair: Right. <br /> Sen. Entz: - supporting Senate Bill 216. And I would like to have Rod Kuharich <br /> and Ron Catany come to before the table and go through the bill for <br /> the Committee. <br /> Mme. Chair: Certainly, Senator Entz. Since Senator Matsunaka has a major <br /> amendment, it might be wise to have him explain that so that the <br /> people that come and testify can address it at the same time. <br /> Sen. Entz: I think Rod Kuharich could address that for the Committee, but at the <br /> — or you can. <br /> Mme. Chair: OK. That's fine, `cause he's familiar with the amendment. Is that <br /> right? <br /> Sen. Entz: That's fine. <br /> Mme. Chair: All right. Then he can do that. So we'll start then with Mr. Kuharich <br /> and Mr. Catany. <br /> Sen. Entz: [unintelligible] <br /> Mme. Chair: And would you each identify yourselves for the tape and when you <br /> start. <br /> Rod Kuharich: Madam Chair, my name is Rod Kuharich. I'm the Director of the <br /> Colorado Water Conservation Board. <br /> Ron Catany: And my name is Ron Catany, Deputy Director of the Department of <br /> Natural Resources. And I just want to say that I am here today on <br /> behalf of Greg Walcher [sp], our Executive Director, in support of <br /> Senate Bill 216 and the amendments proposed by Senator Matsunaka. <br /> And Greg also wanted us to express our support and appreciation for <br /> all those who worked on the bill. And I'll turn it over to Rod to go <br /> through the elements of the bill. <br /> Rod Kuharich: To briefly look at the bill, section by section — <br /> April 12, 2001 <br /> Page 2 <br />
