     Your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred H.B. No. 2835 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE BUREAU OF CONVEYANCES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to provide for the maintenance of privately owned roads and streams by requiring the Registrar of the Bureau of Conveyances to provide to an adjoining landowner upon request management, control, and title information for any public road, alley, trail, street, way, or other public highway, and any waterway or water course.

     The Representatives of the 4^th, 5^th, 6^th, 7^th, 21^st, and 28^th Districts, and many concerned individuals testified in support of this bill.  The Department of Transportation and Department of Land and Natural Resources opposed this measure.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2835 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources,
