The purpose of this bill is to authorize the Department of Health to create up to two permanent or temporary exempt epidemiologist positions.

(1) Expanded the authorization for the creation of epidemiologist positions from two to ten;
(2) Removed the language requiring the Department of Health to report to the Legislature; and
(3) Made technical, nonsubstantive changes for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
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. 3076, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3076, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
