Sirs:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 172, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE BUDGET OF THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS,"

     (1)  Inserting appropriate amounts for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs Fiscal Biennium 2019-2021 operating budget; and

 

     (2)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2019.
