15                                 

16  This committee substitute differs from the bill as filed in
    the following manner:
17  
    -    Amends s 812.155, F.S., to eliminate the necessity to
18       prove fraudulent intent to obtain a conviction where a
         lessee of rental property or equipment fails to redeliver
19       that property or equipment after receiving a demand for
         its return; and
20  
    -    Eliminates the prima facie evidence of fraudulent intent
21       inference that may be drawn from the failure to redeliver
         property after a demand for return has been made.
