Sir and Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1432, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE INTERIM ASSISTANCE REIMBURSEMENT SPECIAL FUND,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this bill is to provide moneys for state-funded assistance programs by establishing the Interim Assistance Reimbursement Special Fund to allow the Department of Human Services to retain from one fiscal year to the next any interim assistance reimbursements received from the federal government for general assistance recipients who have been retroactively approved for supplemental security income benefits.
     Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:

 

(1)  Removing the section that would have appropriated moneys out of the general fund for deposit into the Interim Assistance Reimbursement Special Fund;

 

(2)  Changing the amount appropriated out of the Interim Assistance Reimbursement Special Fund from an unspecified amount to $3,000,000; and

 

(3)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2015.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1432, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1432, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
