Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 26, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS TO PROVIDE FOR THE EXPENSES OF THE LEGISLATURE, THE AUDITOR, THE LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU, THE OMBUDSMAN, AND THE ETHICS COMMISSION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate funds to provide for the expenses of the legislative branch of the State.

 

Specifically, this measure appropriates funds for the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the legislative service agencies comprising the Auditor, the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Ombudsman, and the State Ethics Commission.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Auditor, the State Ethics Commission, the Ombudsman, and a concerned citizen.  Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Legislative Reference Bureau.

 

     Your Committee finds that the appropriations made under this measure reflect fiscally prudent amounts that are necessary to defray the expenses of the Legislature and the legislative service agencies for the 2013-2014 fiscal year.

 

     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 H.B. No. 26, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

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