Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 1675, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to transfer the Executive Office on Aging from the Office of the Governor to the Department of Health.

Your Committee finds it appropriate to place the Office on Aging within the Department Health for administrative purposes on a permanent basis.

Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive changes for clarity 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. 1675, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1675, H.D. 2.

 

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