Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred S.B. No. 201, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE HAWAII COUNTY ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY COUNCIL,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to continue to provide transportation services to disadvantaged populations by appropriating funds as a grant-in-aid to the Hawaii County Economic Opportunity Council (HCEOC) to purchase ten buses.

 

     Your Committee notes that as this measure continues through the legislative process, it should be confirmed that HCEOC meets the standards required by section 42F-103, Hawaii Revised Statutes, so that the organization qualifies for this grant.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Specifying that the funds appropriated as a grant-in-aid are appropriated pursuant to Chapter 42F, Hawaii Revised Statutes;

 

     (2)  Changing the expending agency from HCEOC to the Department of Human Services; and

 

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubtantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 201, S.D. 2,as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 201, S.D. 2, H.D. 1.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
