Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 31 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTION NOMINATION PAPERS,"

Your Committee has amended this measure by requiring only the month and date portions of a voter's date of birth.

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. 31, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 31, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

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