Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 44, S.D. 1, entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD AND OTHER AGENCIES OF THE STATE OF HAWAII TO PROVIDE LOGISTICAL AND TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT AND TRAINING TO THE EMERGENCY ENVIRONMENTAL WORKFORCE WHEN POSSIBLE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Army National Guard (ANG) and other agencies of the State of Hawaii to provide logistical and transportation support and training to the emergency environmental workforce when possible.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Hawaii Army National Guard and the Emergency Environmental Workforce (EEW).

Upon further review, your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Deleting all references to providing training for the EEW;

 

(2) Changing its title to read: "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD AND OTHER AGENCIES OF THE STATE OF HAWAII TO PROVIDE LOGISTICAL AND TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT TO THE EMERGENCY ENVIRONMENTAL WORKFORCE WHEN POSSIBLE"; AND

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of style and clarity.

The Hawaii Army National Guard and EEW are in agreement with this amendment to remove training from the scope of the measure and cognizant of the various applicable federal limitations placed upon the type of support desired.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 44, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Energy and Environmental Protection, in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 44, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs,
