                                 RE: H.B. No. 2073
                                     H.D. 2




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred
H.B. No. 2073, H.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to amend the composition of the
Research Corporation of the University of Hawaii (RCUH) Board of
Directors.

     Changing the RCUH Board of Directors composition to include
administrators and faculty actively engaged in preparing and
implementing research grants, will provide essential knowledge to
the decision making process of the RCUH Board.

     The University of Hawaii, the Executive Director of RCUH and
the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly testified in
support of this bill.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by correcting the
quoted text of Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) section 307-2 to
reflect the printed version of the HRS.  Your Committee has also
amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive
amendments for the purpose of clarity and style.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report,
your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B.

 
 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 583-00

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Higher Education,
