1

committee did not intend necessarily to have a new state

2

agency to carry out this supervision, and watch the

5

uniform administration of the laws, but if it would

4

satisfy the purposes of the provision, to give this duty

5

to the Attorney General or any other existing agency just

6

so the job would be done.

7

As I read section 5 of the existing Constitution

8

all it requires is that the General Assembly provide by

9

law for a uniform registration. This goes beyond that

10

point. It provided for the supervision of those laws so

11

I would suggest that it would serve our purposes to delete

12

the requirement for a new state agency for this purpose, and

13

give the General Assembly some discretion. We are electing

14

these people to office, and they ought to use their heads.

15

We should leave something for the legislatures to do.

16

The Legislative Counsel has recommended a bill for the

17

State Board of Examiners. This is new, and it shows that

18

they are moving in this direction.

19

I hope you would delete this state agency.
