STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3489

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.B. No. 2278

H.D. 1

S.D. 2

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 2278, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING EMERGENCY APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to make two emergency appropriations for fiscal year 2005-2006 for:

(1) DNA testing mandated by Act 112, Session Laws of Hawaii 2005 (Act 112); and

(2) Programs for the prevention of sexual violence and the protection and treatment of victims of sexual violence as provided in Act 133, Session Laws of Hawaii 2005 (Act 133).

Your Committee finds that neither Act 112 nor Act 133 appropriated any funds. This measure would remedy this by providing the funding necessary to accomplish each Act's important objective.

Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical nonsubstantive amendments.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2278, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2278, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
