Panel OKs selling list to government
The Senate Transportation and Utilities Committee endorsed a measure allowing the federal Selective Service System to buy lists of names from the state Division of Motor Vehicles to identify nonregistrants. The cost per name was raised in 1992, making purchases prohibitive. The House approved the measure 106-17. Senate action followed earlier. The piece also notes health care funding debates and housing bond-related moves, plus Gov. Finney naming Diane A. Gjerstad to the Workers' Compensation Fund Oversight Committee.
