Your Committee notes that the term "the health of the environment" is part of the title of this measure, however, your Committee finds this term should be removed from the substantive portion of this bill.
Accordingly, your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Removing the term "the health of the environment";

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2593, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2593, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
