STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1770

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2005

RE: S.C.R. No. 95

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 95 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING KOKUA COUNCIL TO CONVENE THE 2005 MODEL LEGISLATURE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to support efforts to educate older adults about the law-making process by urging the Kokua Council to convene the 2005 Model Legislature.

The Executive Office on Aging testified in support of this concurrent resolution.

The purpose of the 2005 Model Legislature is to provide learning opportunities for older adults to develop their leadership and citizen participation skills. Supported by a grant obtained by Kokua Council, the 2005 Model Legislature will be patterned after the highly successful Oahu Silver Legislature, which was organized by the City and County of Honolulu in 1993 and again in 1994. Organizers hope this process will identify, train, and motivate a cadre of new legislative advocates to participate in the law-making process at the State Capitol.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 95 and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
