The Senate was called to order by President Dick Bond.
The roll was called with forty senators present.
Invocation by Chaplain Fred S. Hollomon:
Heavenly Father,
Nothing frustrates us more, O God,
While trying to do good,
Than when we think we've made it clear,
And get misunderstood.
Why is it when we try so hard
To do the things we should,
Only to discover that
We've been misunderstood?
To be quoted out of context
And nothing runs to plans;
It makes you wonder, Lord,
If they want to understand!
Even when we do our best
To make sure no one's surprised,
By the time it gets back to us,
It's hard to recognize!
When trying to communicate,
Help us do the best we can;
And help those to whom we speak
To try to understand!
I ask this in the Name of Christ,
AMEN

EXPLANATION OF VOTE
Mr. President: This bill, as it left the House, protected the privacy of medical and
pharmacy records. But as the bill currently stands, the individual pharmacy records of all
Kansans can be sold or marketed without the permission of the patient. This is a violation
of privacy that is unacceptable, thus I must vote no on this conference committee report
on SB 541.--Tim Huelskamp
Senators Bleeker, Brownlee, Clark and Ranson request the record to show they concur
with the ``Explanation of Vote'' offered by Senator Huelskamp on SB 541.
