Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 118 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GOVERNMENT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure as received by your Committee requires that the Senate President and House Speaker be notified in writing upon the receipt of any federal aid money for expenditure by any board, commission, department, or officer of the State within ten days of its receipt.

Prior to holding a hearing on this measure, your Committee made available for public review a proposed draft of H.B. 118, H.D. 1 (Proposed Draft). The Proposed Draft repeals the requirement that the Auditor conduct an annual review of certain rapid transportation authorities in the State.

The Office of the Auditor provided comments on the Proposed Draft.

Your Committee has amended this measure by adopting the Proposed Draft.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 118, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 118, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
