STAND. COM. REP. NO. 660

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2005

RE: H.B. No. 465

H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 465 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE BOARDS OF REGISTRATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to transfer the boards of registration (Boards) from the Office of the Lieutenant Governor to the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS).

The Office of Elections testified in support of the bill.

Your Committee finds that Act 117, Session Laws of Hawaii 2003, attached the Office of Elections to DAGS and as such, the Boards, whose support to function on Election Day is provided by the Office of Elections, should also come under the jurisdiction of this same department.

Your Committee has amended the bill by incorporating the boilerplate section on the transfer of records, equipment, and functions between agencies.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 465, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 465, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
