RE: H.B. No. 2300

H.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2300 entitled:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to provide supplemental appropriations and authorizations for the operation of and capital improvements for the Judiciary by amending Act 1, Special Session Laws of Hawaii 2001, 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. Your Committee also finds that two projects being requested by the Judiciary are essential to operations and providing safe and efficient public service.

Your Committee has amended the bill to include two additional capital improvement project requests, one for Ka'ahumanu Hale and the other for the Kauai Judiciary Complex, Lihue.

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. 2300, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2300, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

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