                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1303
                                        S.D. 2




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 1303, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE REVIEW OF THE SALARIES OF
     THE TRUSTEES OF THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to re-start the time for the
salary review commission for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

     Your Committee finds that section 10-9.5, Hawaii Revised
Statutes, established a salary commission review process for
periodic review of the salaries of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs
board of trustees.  However, the commission was never appointed
and the review cycle not initiated.  Your Committee finds that it
is appropriate to start the review process at this time.

     Your Committee has amended the bill by clarifying that the
Governor shall appoint the review commission upon the passage of
the bill.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
1303, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass
