STAND. COM. REP. NO.34-02

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2002

RE: H.B. No. 2585

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 2585 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to provide authority for the University of Hawaii Board of Regents to indemnify a person, corporation, or entity when indemnity is required as a condition for obtaining research grants, benefits, services, interest in or right to use property, and other contractual benefits.

The University of Hawaii (UH) gave testimony in support of this bill.

Your Committee recognizes that research is one of the primary functions of the UH and allowing UH to participate in research opportunities greatly benefits UH.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2585 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education,
