Sir:
Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.B. No. 425, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC UTILITIES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
After careful consideration, your Committee has amended this bill by:

(2) Changing its effective date to January 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of consistency, clarity, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 425, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 425, H.D. 3.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
