My apologies, it will be on Tuesday, April 26, 2011 for the conference
committee. I provided the wrong date below.


DBTF Members,

DCAB staff attended the conference committee hearing on the Newsline bill
this afternoon.

A Conference Draft 1 (CD1) will be drafted by Senator Baker's office stating
that the funding, since it is coming from the general fund, will be
appropriated to Vocational Rehabilitation for the Newsline program instead
of DCAB.  The exact amount of the appropriation will not be established
until next week.

The Conference Committee will reconvene on:

 Tuesday, April 27, 2011
 2:30 p.m.
 Conference Room 229 at the Capitol.

Conferees are:

Senate:  Senator Baker, Chair; Senators Espero and Slom, Co-chairs
House:   Rep. Yamane/Morikawa, Co-chairs; Representatives C. Lee, Tokioka,
Wooley, and Pine, Managers

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Debbie Jackson
Legislative Liaison
