Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 585 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE SCHOOL-LEVEL MINOR REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE SPECIAL FUND,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to clarify that the Department of Education shall use moneys in the school-level minor repairs and maintenance special fund only for school-level minor repairs and maintenance.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Education.

Your Committee finds that clarifying that moneys in the school-level minor repairs and maintenance special fund are to be used only for school-level minor repairs and maintenance will ensure that moneys in the special fund are properly expended.

(2) Making technical nonsubstantive changes for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 585, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 585, S.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
