STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1583

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2005

RE: H.B. No. 138

H.D. 1

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 138, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BOOKMOBILES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds to support the public library bookmobiles.

Your Committee finds that bookmobiles serve an important function by enabling all residents of the State, especially those in rural areas, to receive library resources. However, with the exception of the bookmobile on the island of Molokai, the public library bookmobiles are not in operation. This measure will enable the bookmobiles to commence operations once again.

Your Committee has amended this measure by appropriating an unspecified amount to facilitate further discussion.

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 H.B. No. 138, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 138, H.D. 1, S.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
