- Annual Report of Liquor Enforcement Actions (General Assembly);

- Quarterly Report on Conservation Easement Tax Credit (Joint Budget and Finance Committees);

- Annual Report on Special License Plate Fees (General Assembly); and

• adds a repeal date to coincide with the three year expiration for the following reports:



- Annual Report on Electronic Benefits Transfers (Health and State Affairs Committees); and

- Annual Report on Exceptions Processing at the Division of Motor Vehicles (Transportation Legislation Review Committee); and



• removes the requirement that the following reports be sent to the General Assembly:
