Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1936 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE MILITARY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to lessen the burden on our citizen-soldiers by allowing active-duty members of the United States Armed Forces Reserves and National Guard who desire to run for elected office to file their nomination papers and oaths by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.

The state Department of Defense and a concerned citizen testified in support of this bill.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1936 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
