Sirs:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 2161, S.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO VEHICLE INSPECTION STATIONS,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to change the penalty that is imposed upon a vehicle inspection station for improper motor vehicle inspections from the revocation or suspension of the station's operating permit to a fine.

(2) Specifying that after three violations, the vehicle inspection station license will be subject to suspension or revocation;

(3) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2018; and

(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments 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 H.B. No. 2161, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2161, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
