Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives
in S.B. No. 1036, S.D. 3, H.D. 1, entitled:

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to
recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final

provide services to the disabled, deaf, hard-of-hearing, and
deaf-blind.

     Upon further consideration, your Committee on Conference has
amended this measure by providing that the Act take effect on
January 1, 2000, but sections 6 and 7 take effect on July 1,
2000.
