Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2613, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FISHING RIGHTS AND REGULATIONS,"
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.

Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date from July 1, 2050, to July 1, 2002.
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 S.B. No. 2613, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2613, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
