STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3416

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.B. No. 2210

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Education and Military Affairs and Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 2210 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PEARLRIDGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to further amend an allocation made in 2003 to allow for expansion and renovation of the Pearl Ridge Elementary School cafeteria.

Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Education, Pearl Ridge Elementary School, and eighty-four individuals.

Your Committees find that under the language of the current law, Pearlridge Elementary has been unintentionally limited in the kind of cafeteria expansion it may undertake, which has resulted in a design that does not suit its own needs. The amendment proposed by this measure more accurately reflects the school's intent to renovate, as well as expand, the cafeteria. Your Committees further find that this measure would not involve any additional monies to be appropriated, as all funds have already been released.

Your Committees have amended this measure by making technical, non-substantive amendments.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Education and Military Affairs and Ways and Means that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2210, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2210, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Education and Military Affairs and Ways and Means,
