Madam Speaker:

    The Judiciary Committee reports a favorable recommendation on S.B. 168, UNIFORM DISPOSITION OF COMMUNITY PROPERTY RIGHTS AT DEATH ACT, by Senator L. Hillyard, with the following amendments:

1.    Page 3, Lines 70 through 78 :    

             70          75-2b-104. Disposition upon death.
             71          Upon the death of a married person, 1/2 of the property to which this chapter applies is
             72      the property of the surviving spouse and is not subject to testamentary disposition by the
             73      decedent or distribution under the laws of succession of this state. One-half of that property is
             74      the property of the decedent and is subject to testamentary disposition or distribution under the
             75      laws of succession of this state.

{   With respect to property to which this chapter applies, the 1/2

             76      of the property which is the property of the decedent is not subject to the surviving spouse's
             77      right to elect against the will and no estate of dower or curtesy exists in the property of the
             78      decedent.   }
  Property to which this chapter applies may not reduce, be subject to, or be used in calculating, the surviving spouse's elective share under this title.      


    Respectfully,

    Kay L. McIff
