S.D. 1

H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2682, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR CLAIMS AGAINST THE STATE, ITS OFFICERS, OR ITS EMPLOYEES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds to satisfy claims against the State, state officers or employees, and for refunds of taxes, judgments, settlements, and miscellaneous claims.

The Attorney General submitted testimony in support of the bill.

This bill as received contained 26 claims totaling $1,923,990.35. Since the passage of S.B. No. 2682 S.D. 1, sixteen additional claims totaling $781,867.67 have been resolved. Accordingly, your Committee has amended this bill by including the sixteen additional claims. The amended appropriations account for 42 claims totaling $2,705,858.02.

Your Committee has further amended this measure by including language consistent with the Attorney General's testimony to clarify the funding source for various claims. Other technical, nonsubstantive amendments were made for style and clarity.

 

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2682, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2682, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,
