Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2851, H.D. 1, entitled:

(3) Provides that the Board serve as the final adjudicator for appeals relating to certification; and
(4) Providing that the Act be repealed on June 30, 2009; and
(5) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for consistency and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2851, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2851, H.D. 2.
