Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 150, H.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to transfer the function of the state capitol tour service from the Office of Information Practices, which is administratively attached to the Office of the Governor, to the Legislature.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this bill from a concerned individual. Testimony in opposition to the bill was submitted by the Department of Accounting and General Services.

Your Committee has amended this bill to transfer the state capitol tour service function from the Office of Information Practices to the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, instead of to the Legislature.

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. 150, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 150, H.D. 2.
