STAND. COM. REP. NO.97

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2003

RE: S.B. No. 26

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 26 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE LEGISLATIVE JOURNALS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to place each house of the Legislature in charge of publishing, selling, and distributing the legislative journals.

Your Committee finds that under existing law, the Office of the Lieutenant Governor is responsible for selling, distributing, and fixing the price of the legislative journals, while the Legislature is responsible for preparing the journals.

Your Committee agrees that it makes more sense to put each house of the Legislature in charge of selling, distributing, and fixing the price for the legislative journals, and to allow the Legislature to retain the proceeds from sales of the journals.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 26 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations,
