Without objection, it was so ordered. 2004-05-11 Senate Journal Page 3764 Memo dated May 11 from the Division of Legal Services was received, stating: Under Uniform Rule 42 (a) a conference committee must submit an identical conference committee report to each of the houses. Each house may accept or reject the report, but cannot amend it. The report that has been delivered previously, FCCS SB 283, contains errors and a corrected version of FCCS SB 283 is currently being prepared. If the Senate, in its course of business, takes up the conference committee report, FCCS SB 283 before the corrected version has been delivered, members must be advised that they will be voting on the report in front of them plus the corrections itemized in the memorandum to you from Kathryn Kurtz, Legislative Counsel. Memo dated May 11 from the Division of Legal Services was received, stating: There are two errors in FCCS SB283 (Work Order No. 23- LS1553\W). First, section 33 had two effective dates--May 11 and July 1, 2004. In reviewing our backup material for the bill, the effective date was clearly supposed to be July 1, 2004. Second, amendment 1(g) to 23-LS8008, am. 102 was omitted from the bill, although the committee voted on and approved the amendment. We are preparing a new final FCCS SB283 which we have produced for you in order to correct these two errors in the "W" version. The effective date of section 33 will be July 1, 2004. Amendment 1(g) will appear in sec. 47(e), with a May 11 effective date and a capital lapse. I apologize for the inconvenience and delay these errors have caused.
