     Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.B. No. 507, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BOATING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

     Your Committee has amended this bill by changing the effective date to July 1, 2007.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 507, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 507, H.D. 2.

 

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
