SENATORS TABLE 2 REORGANIZATION PROPOSALS

The Senate Government Operations Committee on Thursday tabled two reorganization proposals from Government House.
One would transfer the Narcotics Strike Force and the Law Enforcement Planning Commission to the V. I. Police Department.
The other would create a Division of Human Resources incorporating the Personnel Division and the Office of Collective Bargaining under one roof.
Sen. Lorraine Berry made a motion to table both bills, saying they would be included in the Fiscal year 2000 Executive Budget, according to a release from the Legislature.
Sen. Almando "Rocky" Liburd's bill to offer accrued airline mileage on travel paid for by the government for use by young people and athletes representing the Virgin Islands was held in committee for a month.
Sen. Judy Gomez's bill to establish penalties for the crime of carjacking also was held in committee.
