Honorable Robert Bunda

Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 2039, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DECONTAMINATION OF ILLEGAL DRUG MANUFACTURING SITES,"
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 require the Department of Health to adopt rules establishing procedures and guidelines for emergency and long-term decontamination and remediation of illegal methamphetamine manufacturing sites.
Your Committee finds that the procedures and guidelines required by this measure will address the threat to public health posed by toxic chemicals left behind by illegal drug manufacturing.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Deleting the proviso language in section 4 repealing section 2 as unnecessary because section 2 already provides that permanent rules, once adopted by the Department of Health, will supersede the interim rules; and
(2) Changing the effective date to upon its approval.
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. 2039, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2039, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
