(5) Deleting the appropriation provision;
(6) Deleting the effective date of July 1, 3000; and
(7) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for style, clarity, and consistency.
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 H.B. No. 1918, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1918, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
