     (1)  Requiring that all general revenues collected from an increase of the entire general excise or use tax rate shall be used first to pay tax refunds delayed from fiscal year 2009-2010 to fiscal year 2010-2011;

 

     (2)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2010; and

 

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for 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 H.B. No. 1948, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1948, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.
