Delegate Kiefer.
DELEGATE KIEFER: Mr. Chairman,
I have to rise in opposition to this amend-
ment for the same reason that I opposed
the last one. This states the same principle
in just slightly different language. The
other covered both civil and criminal pro-
ceedings. This covers Court proceedings.
The other had the word "agency". This
leaves it out. It is exactly the same. I hope
you will vote against it.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any other
discussion?
Delegate Bamberger.
DELEGATE BAMBERGER: Will Dele-
gate Kiefer yield?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Kiefer.
DELEGATE KIEFER: Yes, sir.
THE CHAIRMAN : Delegate Bamberger.
DELEGATE BAMBERGER: In the
Committee's discussion of the suggestion
made by this and the prior amendment,
how, or what did you consider to be the
method of enforcing and of protecting the
right of privacy which you have spelled
out in section 4?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Kiefer.
DELEGATE KIEFER: Well, we did not
consider this was the way to do it. This
will be implemented by legislation where
necessary, and also, of course, in this par-
ticular area and field by judicial determi-
nation in each individual case.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any other
discussion?
(T I) ere was no response.)
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
The Clerk will ring the quorum bell.
The question arises upon the adoption of
Amendment No. 8. A vote Aye is a vote in
favor of the Amendment. A vote No is a
vote against.
Delegate Willoner.
DELEGATE WILLONER: Mr. Chair-
man, for the record, the intent I think of
the Committee was that it should be en-
forced as the amendment is enforced at
this time through the exclusionary rule.
We do not hold to this in the event some
other method can be determined by the
courts.
THE CHAIRMAN: The question arises
on the adoption of Amendment No. 8. A
|
vote Aye is a vote for the Amendment. A
vote No is a vote against. Cast your vote.
Has every delegate voted? Does any dele-
gate desire to change his vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 34 votes in the affirmative
and 84 in the negative, the motion fails.
The amendment is rejected.
Are there any other amendments to sec-
tion 4?
Delegate Weidemeyer.
DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: Mr.
President, I would like to have my vote
recorded against the last amendment. It is
true I did push my button in favor of it
because Delegate Bothe had argued so
convincingly that I wanted her to know I
was with her part of the way, although I
was not willing to go all the way and vote
for the amendment.
THE CHAIRMAN: I take it that Dele-
gate Weidemeyer is saying that he voted
in error. If so, the Clerk will correct the
error. The Chair will correct the statement.
The amendment was rejected, with 33
affirmative votes and 85 negative votes.
For what purpose does Delegate White
rise?
DELEGATE WHITE: I am very glad
that my friend to my right changed his
vote. Now I can sleep better tonight.
THE CHAIRMAN: The Chair recog-
nizes Delegate Sosnowski.
DELEGATE SOSNOWSKI: A point of
personal privilege, Mr. Chairman.
THE CHAIRMAN: State the privilege.
DELEGATE SOSNOWSKI: Mr. Presi-
dent, Mr. Chairman, tonight we have with
us the following representatives of the
Teachers Association of Anne Arundel
County :
Jeanne Pitzer, President.
Joanne Pitzer, Legislative Member.
Jean Carlton, Legislative Member.
Alice Gilbert, Legislative Member.
Markham Wingate, Legislative Member.
Robert Hopper, Chairman, Legislative
Committee.
I certainly consider it an honor and a
pleasure to introduce these people. (Ap-
plause.)
