Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1111, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR CLAIMS AGAINST THE STATE, ITS OFFICERS, OR ITS EMPLOYEES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to make an appropriation to satisfy claims against the State or its officers or employees for settlements, judgments, or other liabilities.

Your Committee finds that each of the various claims whether by way of court judgments, settlements, or other miscellaneous resolution has the approval of the Attorney General. Your Committee was further informed by the Attorney General that his office has resolved an additional eleven claims since the measure was referred to this Committee, which he requested be included in this measure.

Your Committee has amended this bill by:

(1) Including the additional eleven claims resolved by the Attorney General; and

(2) Making technical changes necessary to conform the bill to these additions.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1111, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1111, H.D. 2, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
