Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate

Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1765, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GOVERNMENT BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, AND AGENCIES,"
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 for expiration of the term of a member of a state board, commission, agency, authority, or committee who, without valid excuse, fails to attend three consecutive meetings where a quorum cannot be achieved because of the member's absence.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Providing that in the absence of the chair, the board's acting chair shall determine whether a member's absence is excused; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and style.
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. 1765, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1765, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
