Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1002, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CRUISE SHIPS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to regulate discharges of liquids and air emissions from commercial passenger vessels.
This measure regulates the discharge of sewage, graywater, other wastewater, and air emissions from commercial passenger vessels and requires the operators of commercial passenger vessels to maintain records of discharges and report any discharges that are prohibited by this measure.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Adding a severability clause;

(3) Making technical and nonsubstantive changes for clarity and consistency.
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 S.B. No. 1002, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1002, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
