Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 159, 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 authorize the Hawaiian Language College (College) of the University of Hawaii at Hilo to contract directly with providers when conducting business in the Hawaiian language, rather than having to conduct such business through the Research Corporation of the University of Hawaii.

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs and Aha Punana Leo submitted testimony in support of this bill. The College submitted testimony in support of the intent of this bill.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 159, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
