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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No.
2427, H.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
     SYSTEMS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to enable the Office of Planning
(OP) to assist more agencies that require spatial analysis
services relating to the statewide planning and geographic
information system by:

     (1)  Authorizing OP to charge fees for statewide geographic
          information system services;

     (2)  Establishing the Statewide Planning and Geographic
          Information System Special Fund.  Moneys would be used
          to defray operating costs; and

     (3)  Appropriating $1 from Special Fund.

     The Department of Agriculture and OP testified in support of
this bill.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by making technical,
nonsubstantive revisions for the purpose of clarity.
