Honorable Norman Mizuguchi

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 2075 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE GOOD
     BEGINNINGS ALLIANCE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds for the
Good Beginnings Alliance Initiative provided that the funds are

childhood development.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the
appropriation figure to a blank amount for the purposes of
continued discussion of the matter.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
2075, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third
Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2075, S.D. 1.
