As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 97, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 97, H.D. 2.

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