Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Revitalization & Business, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 141 entitled:

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization & Business that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 141 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Revitalization & Business,
