Sir:

Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.R. No. 117 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS TO CONVENE AN INTERAGENCY ENFORCEMENT TASK FORCE TO COMBAT ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS OF "MONSTER HOMES" IN THE STATE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to convene an interagency enforcement task force to combat illegal activities related to the construction and operations of large-scale homes that are designed to house several families but are situated on property zoned for single-family residential use.

The Office of Information Practices offered comments on this measure.

Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting the clause allowing the task force to hold closed meetings.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 117, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Judiciary in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 117, H.D. 1.

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