finish to today's extra session of the House of Assembly.

MPs will discuss the massive plan to provide an adequate pension for every employee in Bermuda as the last piece of business.

Government wants to legislate for compulsory pension schemes for every worker aged 23 years or over and who work at least 720 hours a year.

A Pensions Commission will also be set up to oversee the scheme, which will be contributed to equally by employer and employee, with a minimum contribution of five percent each targeted.

But that will be phased in over five years, with one percent from each side starting in the year 2000.

Private sector pensions will also be portable between employers and pension funds must be held separate from company assets.

Government-run pension schemes will be exempt from the new regulations, if they pass the House.

The Minister of Finance will get new powers to set fees for mutual funds under the Bermuda Monetary Authority (Amendment) Act, if it is approved.

Another bill to alter the cost of some Government fees will also come up, while a bill amending various aspects of the Companies Act will be discussed.

MPs will also be asked to ratify a lease between the Bermuda Land Development Corporation and the Bermuda Housing Trust, which wants to provide housing for the elderly at the old Naval Air Station in St. David's.

A bid to open up part of the old Canadian base at Daniel's Head to a US eco-tourism project by US-based Destination Villages will come under the spotlight when MPs are asked to ratify a lease for the company.

Senate -- also sitting today -- will discuss a bid to tighten up the recently-introduced law on stalking.

The amendment -- set to backed by the Upper House -- will allow Police to arrest someone they have reasonable cause to suspect has committed a stalking offence, or is about to commit one.

And the courts will get new powers to make temporary protection orders for complainants, victims or a "connected person'' following an arrest.

Police will also be allowed to enter premises without a warrant when they have cause to suspect a stalking offence is being committed or a protection order is being broken.

Also on the agenda is a new law designed to avoid problems with bogus psychological practioners and deal with qualified persons who commit misconduct.

The Psychological Practitioners' Act 1998 brings psychologists into line with other Island professional groups by introducing a statutory body with court-style powers and a register of practitioners.

The new ruling body will have powers to enforce proper use professional titles and have the ability to strike off members of the register if necessary.

Proposals to plug a loophole in the race hate laws will also be up for discussion.

The Criminal Code Amendment Act corrects 1995 legislation, which banned a variety of racial acts -- but missed out face-to-face harassment.

But the amendment will include that with racial abuse by phone, fax or e-mail.

And a controversial bill designed to allow Marriott Castle Harbour owners Bermuda Properties Ltd. to develop part of the resort's 192-acre site will be tabled -- although not debated until next week.

Senate Government leader E.T. (Bob) Richards said that the Upper House is set to join the House of Assembly and add an extra session to get through its business.

Tomorrow is the third-last scheduled sitting of Senate -- but Sen. Richards predicted an extra session will have to be added.
