begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to amend the law relating to government operation and policy.

Prior to the hearing on this measure, your Committee posted and made available for public review a proposed S.D. 1, which amends this measure by deleting its contents and replacing it with language to:

(2) Require each department and agency to train their members at least once per calendar year.

Your Committee has amended this measure by adopting the proposed S.D. 1.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 82, as amended herein, and recommends that it be recommitted to your Committee on Government Operations, in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 82, S.D. 1, for further consideration.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Government Operations,
