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. 1103, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING SERVICES AND CENTERS,"

 

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 facilitate conformance of state law to federal law to ensure eligibility for federal financial assistance for Independent Living Services and Centers by repealing the statute that establishes the Statewide Council on Independent Living as an entity within the Department of Human Services.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Amending language to more accurately reflect the bill's purpose; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, 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. 1103, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1103, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE

 

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
