seven-terincumbent Jim Hansen retires Hansen is this year running for Bishop had a stormy relationship in the House with his Democratic counterparts many of whom accused him of playing partisan

cities partial control while prohibiting any refusal to sell guns unless the refusal is based on legal reasons Open-Meetin- d By aos' Jon Cre Mere still is no to ensure protection they're not discussing prohibited matters THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE The House of Representatives s passed an amended law Thursday that calls for tape recordings or minutes of losed sessions and clarifies when he public can be shut out But tapes are not necessary when discussing personnel or security matters In those cases the presiding officer must sign a sworn statement that says just those topics were addressed The records would be protected and the only public access would be to prove to a judge that the meeting was closed improperly Then the judge alone in chambers would determine if a violaopen-meet:ng- tion occurred And the sole penalty for a violation would be imposed by that judge who could release the information to the public and order the agency to void any action during a disputed meeting The amended HB146 which breezed by in a 70-- vote Thursday broadened the definition of meetings to head off character assassinations by the media said its sponsor Rep Martin R Stephens BETSY WOLF Common Cause matters that would not come before the public body for discussion or action In Strategy sessions to discuss collective bargaining litigation and discussion of real property sales purchase exchanges Investigations of alleged criminal conduct Personnel matters are discussed Chance meetings of public officials may not be construed as public under the amended law rr gm) 0 "at least in the elected officials' eyes you're guilty until proven innocent" when a meeting is closed said Stephens who added the amended law was virtually unopposed even outside the Legislature Betsy Wolf of Common Cause was more cautious "We have some reservations about some of the provisions" she said "It's different from the current law substantially in that it requires the tape or record of a closed meeting But it expands the exemptions in litigation and real property discussions and it also provides a new ability for a public body to meet secretly on administrative matters "That's a concern" said Wolf And there still is no protection to ensure they're not discussing prohibited matters" And J Reese Hunter Lake pointed out that residents who suspect skulduggery behind closed doors probably would have to hire an attorney Stephens responded that virtually all challenges are made by the news media which have the money and are "more than happy to jump into the fray" Claire Geddes of Ross Perot's United We Stand said the bill is -a step in the wrong direction" If the Senate passes the bill closed sessions would include the L"- ‘ 0 jk - Monday thru Saturday

rural areas to consult their doctors over the telephone With only two clinics performing now operating in Salt Lake City Cooper said Killpack's bill may create an undue burden by forcing women into

Added Gayle Ruzicka of the conservative Utah Eagle Forum: "A telephone call isn't anyway to start informed consent" Killpack noted that similar requirements have been ruled constitutional in Pennsylvania making them likely to withstand a court challenge in Utah But critics said the bill appears designed to impose hardships on women seeking an abortion especially those who must travel long - 14''' - Impose New Abortion Rule physician seeking medical care and surgery were to tczke place would you want them to do it over the telephone?
