Sir:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate
in H.B. No. 2418, S.D. 1, entitled:

    IDENTIFICATION,"

inconvenience to, and frustration of, the public.

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by
adding a provision addressing the expiration of certificates
expiring on dates other than the birthdays of certificate holders
and by lowering the fee to $10 for persons who are sixty-five
years old or older.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your
Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your
Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose
of H.B. No. 2418, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that
it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No.
2418, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the managers:
