STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2190
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2551
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2016
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Labor, to which was referred S.B. No. 2551 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO NON-GENERAL FUNDS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to require the Judiciary to submit an annual report to the Legislature regarding certain information of each non-general fund account of the Judiciary.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Judiciary and Office of the Auditor.
Your Committee finds that existing law requires executive branch departments to submit annual reports to the Legislature regarding each department's management of non-general funds. This measure applies the same requirement to the Judiciary to enable the Legislature to make better state budgetary decisions.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2551 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Labor,
|
