"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERNATIONAL EQUESTRIAN FACILITY,"

A multi-purpose equestrian facility could provide a variety of job opportunities for residents. The facility also is envisioned to include vocational and habilitative programs to benefit disabled and at-risk persons by interacting with horses.
Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this bill to:
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 H.B.
