Sir:

Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred S.B. No. 3109 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to remove outdated annual reporting requirements for the Department of Human Services.

Your Committee finds that updating the annual reporting requirements of the Department of Human Services and its attached agencies, such as the Office of Youth Services, will reduce administrative burdens and increase governmental efficiencies.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3109 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 Human Services,
