                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1153
                                        




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 1153 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING
     FUND PROGRAM,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to exempt grants and subsidies
given through the employment and training fund from chapter 103F,
as well as chapter 42F, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

     Your Committee finds that this measure is necessary to
enable the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to
solicit proposals in a timely and continuous manner without
impediment from the procurement process requirements.

     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 S.B. No.
1153 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
