RE:   H.B. No. 1852

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1852, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to:

 

     (1)  Repeal the School-level Minor Repair and Maintenance Account as its account and reporting requirements are duplicative and unnecessary; and

 

     (2)  Require the Department of Education (DOE) to submit a report to the Director of Finance, no later than 90 days after the close of each fiscal year, with a copy to the Legislature, identifying the total amount of special funds in the School-level Minor Repair and Maintenance Special Fund that will carry over to the next fiscal year.

 

     DOE testified in support of this bill.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1852, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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