Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 1130, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE BUREAU OF CONVEYANCES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1130, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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