Sir:

     Your Committees on Health and Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 205 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING A MANAGEMENT AUDIT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure, as received by your Committees, is to request a management audit of the Department of Health Environmental Health Administration.

For purposes of facilitating public input on this measure, your Committees gave notice of and held a public hearing on a proposed draft of this measure.  The proposed draft circulated by your Committees amended H.C.R.

     The Department of Health submitted testimony in support of the proposed draft of this measure.

     Upon consideration, your Committees have amended this measure by adopting the proposed draft that was noticed and considered at the public hearing.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Health and Energy & Environmental Protection that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 205, as amended herein, and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Legislative Management, in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 205, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Health and Energy & Environmental Protection,
