     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 614, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 614, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
