Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 316, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO UNIVERSITY PROJECTS AND PURPOSES,"

(1) Clarifying that the $20,000,000 authorized ceiling shall not apply to any principal amount outstanding as of the date of enactment of this measure; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of style, clarity, and consistency.

 

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. 316, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 316, H.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
