Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2550, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to support the creation of new century conversion charter schools by setting a limit on the maximum annual per pupil contribution a nonprofit organization can be required to contribute, should it decide to undertake the creation of a new century conversion charter school.

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs testified in support of this bill. The Board of Education, Charter School Administrative Office, and Ho'okako'o Corporation supported the intent of this measure. The Hawaii State Teachers Association opposed this bill.

Your Committee has amended this bill by:

(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion; and

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

 

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2550, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2550, H.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
