Speaker, House of Representatives

Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 975, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GOVERNMENT,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to provide the State and counties with tort immunity from claims arising from the use of public skateboard parks, except in cases where the public entity has failed to adequately repair or maintain the park.
Your Committee on Conference has agreed that limited liability for the State and counties is appropriate, in order to encourage the establishment of skateboard parks.
Your Committee on Conference amended this measure to extend immunity to volunteers working at such parks without remuneration.
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 S.B. No. 975, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 975, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
