Sirs:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2693, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE FESTIVAL OF PACIFIC ARTS,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of the measure is to appropriate moneys for the planning of the Thirteenth Festival of Pacific Arts, which is to be hosted in the State in 2020.

 

     Your Committee on Conference finds that planning and hosting the Thirteenth Festival of the Pacific Arts will increase international appreciation of the State's culture and help to create a global market for the State's art, ideas, and products.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

 

(1)  Changing the appropriation from an unspecified amount to $950,000;

 

(2)  Changing the effective date from June 15, 1215, to July 1, 2018; and

 

(3)  Making technical nonsubstantive changes for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2693, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2693, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
