Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.R. No. 89 entitled:

 

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF INSTALLING NEW LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS AT STATE FACILITIES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 89 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
