     (2)  Changing the effective date to December 21, 2058, to encourage further discussion;

 

     (3)  Repealing the provisions of this bill on January 1, 2012; and

 

     (4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 107, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 107, H.D. 2.
