                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1250
                                        S.D. 1




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. 1250 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SCHOOL BUSES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to allow the use of tour buses
solely for the transportation of student groups, other than
school athletes, to and from school related events or activities.

     Your Committee finds that schools should be allowed to use
tour buses to transport students to attend school events as a
group, and in a safe manner.

     Your Committee intends that the Department of Education have
broad discretion to use a wide variety of tour bus vehicles,
including vans.

     Your Committee amended this bill by making technical
nonsubstantive changes.

     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.
1250, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third
Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1250, S.D. 1.

 
a                                                     SB1250 SD1
