ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 345 - Revises provisions governing sale, lease or exchange 
	of land owned by City of Henderson.

Chairman Bache distributed a memorandum from Assemblyman Richard Perkins 
(Exhibit B).  Chairman Bache advised there was an omission from a bill draft 
concerning a charter change for the city of Henderson.  He said the city had 
requested the term of office of municipal judges be six years and that request was 
not covered in the bill draft.

Chairman Bache suggested the omission could be dealt with by rescinding the 
committee's prior action on A.B. 345 and, thereafter, amending and rereferring 
A.B. 345.

ASSEMBLYMAN WILLIAMS MOVED TO RESCIND THE COMMITTEE'S 
PRIOR ACTION TO INDEFINITELY POSTPONE A.B. 345. 

ASSEMBLYMAN LAMBERT SECONDED THE MOTION.

ASSEMBLYMAN LAMBERT MOVED TO AMEND AND REREFER A.B. 345.

ASSEMBLYMAN SEGERBLOM SECONDED THE MOTION.

Discussions were held among committee members.


Chairman Bache explained the amendment being proposed was to delete the 
provisions of A.B. 345 in their entirety and substitute provisions which would 
amend Henderson's city charter to establish the term of office for municipal court 
judges as six years.

THE MOTION CARRIED; ASSEMBLYMAN HARRINGTON VOTED "NO."


ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 398 - Makes various changes governing priority, forfeiture 
	and adjudication of water rights. 

Chairman Bache provided a proposed amendment to A.B. 398 (Exhibit C).

Assemblyman de Braga explained the proposed amendment (Exhibit C) would 
delete from A.B. 398 any reference to "forfeiture" and "abandonment" and, also, 
 any reference to bypassing the court system.  She advised, as amended, A.B. 398 
would merely allow disputes over title or ownership of water rights to be settled 
in the district court of the county in which the water was located.

ASSEMBLYMAN DE BRAGA MOVED TO AMEND A.B. 398 (IN 		
	ACCORDANCE WITH EXHIBIT C) AND TO REREFER A.B. 398.

ASSEMBLYMAN NEIGHBORS SECONDED THE MOTION.

THE MOTION CARRIED.

Chairman Bache reminded the committee a work session would be held on May 26,
