amendments were added.
These included a provision to re-
strict operations Of prohibition en-.
forcement officers by prohibiting
searches, or any attempts at searching
Of private property or premises with.
out search warrants.
A violation Of thisc lause would be
misdemeanor, subject to fine Of g..

drastic penalties. 1t was adopted
without a roll call.

ocrats voted against passage Of the
bill.
