STAND. COM. REP. NO.308

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.B. No. 1000

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1000 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE JUDICIARY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to provide the necessary appropriations and authorizations for the operation of and capital improvements for the Judiciary branch for the 2001-2002 fiscal biennium.

The Judiciary submitted testimony in support of this bill.

Your Committee finds that the Judiciary's request is a conservative one that addresses their most pressing needs. Additional resources are being requested to cover necessary operational and technological enhancements, essential court support services and a limited number of critical positions. These requests conform to the Judiciary's mission to streamline operations, yet provide adequate resources and responses to public demands for courtroom staff and support services.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1000 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,

____________________________
