Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 33 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE LEGISLATURE TO PARTICIPATE IN "LIGHT THE STATE CAPITOL BLUE" DURING A PORTION OF THE 2013 REGULAR SESSION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to raise awareness about prostate cancer in Hawaii by requesting:

 

(1)  The Department of Accounting and General Services to participate in the Hawaii Prostate Cancer Coalition's initiative, "Light the State Capitol Blue," during a portion of the 2013 Regular Session; and

 

(2)  The Comptroller to allow a banner that encourages men to speak to their physicians about prostate cancer to be hung on the State Capitol grounds during the month of September 2013.

 

     The Department of Accounting and General Services, Hawaii Prostate Cancer Coalition, and several individuals supported this measure.

 

     Your Committee notes that the Department of Accounting and General Services has estimated it will cost $8,000 to participate in this initiative.  

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 33 and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
