RE:   H.B. No. 1993

      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 Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1993 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO APPELLATE JURISDICTION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to make permanent the law establishing the jurisdictional responsibilities of the appellate courts.

 

     The Judiciary supported this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by extending the repeal date of the underlying law for another four years, rather than making it permanent.  In addition, your Committee has changed the effective date of this bill to December 21, 2058, to encourage further discussion.

 

     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. 1993, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1993, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

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