STAND. COM. REP. NO.1111-02

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.C.R. No. 105

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 105 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A STUDY OF PRINTING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES UTILIZED, CONTRACTED, AND SUBCONTRACTED BY HAWAII STATE GOVERNMENT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Auditor to conduct a study of all in-house and contracted printing jobs, including contracts awarded by state agencies to private marketing and advertising firms that subcontract printing jobs.

The University of Hawaii, Obun Hawaii, Inc., Edward Enterprises, Inc., HonBlue, Inc., xpedx Hawaii, and the Hawaii Chapter of the Pacific Printing and Imaging Association testified in support of this measure.

Your Committee finds that while the printing industry contributes more than $250,000,000 annually to the State's economy, approximately $200,000,000 is spent outside the State on printing jobs. Your Committee believes that this study will be valuable in determining how the State's printing jobs affect Hawaii's printing industry.

Your Committee, however, is concerned that this will be an enormous task because of the number of state agencies that will need to be studied. Your Committee believes that your Committee on Finance may need to narrow the scope of this resolution and examine any funding issues.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 105 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
