     Your Committees on Judiciary and Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.B. No. 2297, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE SUN SCREENING DEVICES,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

     Your Committees have amended this bill by:

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.


     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Judiciary and Consumer Protection & Commerce that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2297, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2297, H.D. 2.
