                                   RE:  S.B. No. 425
                                        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. 425, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FEES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to increase fees charged by
state agencies to more accurately reflect the cost of providing
governmental services.

     Your Committee finds that the State must find ways to
generate income and collection of fees for different services can
help to ease the current financial burden due to the weak
economy.  

     Your Committee has amended this bill by deleting section 2
regarding fees for parking at state parks.  Furthermore, it is
not the intent in section 3 of fee charges to focus on
alternative education students.  Your Committee has also amended
this bill by deleting the overbroad delegation of authority to
the revisor of statutes in section 9 and made technical
nonsubstantive changes, including renumbering sections to follow
standard drafting practices.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your

 
a                                                     SB425 SD2

2, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

                                 Respectfully submitted on behalf
                                 of the members of the Committee
