Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 2840, S.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STATE GOVERNMENT,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this bill is to ensure that scarce state resources are devoted to core government functions as specified in the Hawaii state plan and functional plans and to provide a mechanism by which all state government programs may be classified according to whether they implement core government functions.

Your Committee on Conference has amended the measure by:

(1) Altering the composition of the Core Government Functions Advisory Commission (Advisory Commission);

(2) Removing the appropriations section;

(3) Changing the effective date to take effect upon approval; and

(4) Making other technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2840, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2840, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
