STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2885

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 2821

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2821 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR LIBRARIAN POSITIONS AT WAIALUA LIBRARY AND KAHUKU PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to create and fund two full-time children's librarian positions at Waialua Library and Kahuku Public School Library.

Your Committee finds that there is currently a part-time children's librarian at the Waialua Library and another part-time children's librarian at the Kahuku Public School Library. Your Committee also finds that the demand for children's library services in Waialua and Kahuku exceeds the current capacity and believes that a total of two full-time library positions would benefit these communities.

Your Committee has amended the measure by deleting the specific amount appropriated and changing it to an unspecified amount to ensure continued discussion. Your Committee has also made technical nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and style.

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 S.B. No. 2821, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2821, S.D. 1.

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