Sir:

Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 2817 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION ANNUAL REPORT REQUIREMENTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to repeal certain reporting requirements for the Department of Education.

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

Your Committee finds that certain reporting requirements for the Department of Education are no longer necessary. Your Committee further finds that the expenditure of time and resources on unnecessary reporting does not benefit the State. Accordingly, your Committee finds that this measure will promote efficiency and good governance within the Department of Education.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2817 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committees on Judiciary and Ways and Means.

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