With the recommendation that the substitute (H-3) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that would increase the recount deposit from $10 to $100 per precinct, unless the vote differential were more than one-half of one percent, or 50 votes (whichever was greater), in which case the deposit would have to equal 100 percent of the estimated cost of the recount. This version was subsequently superceded by another substitute that does the same thing but adds some technical changes.
The substitute failed by voice vote
