     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 3213 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AIR POLLUTION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 3213 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
