Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1878, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to statutorily establish the Hawaii State Student Council (HSSC), consisting of 23 representatives from the various school districts and the student member of the Board of Education. In addition, this bill requires the HSSC to conduct an annual conference of secondary school students.
The Department of Education and four concerned citizens supported this measure. The Department of Budget and Finance opposed this bill.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(2) Changing the effective date of this bill to July 1, 2003.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1878, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1878, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
