Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 242

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 242 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to:

 

     (1)  Repeal certain reporting requirements for the University of Hawaii; and

 

     (2)  Require the Hawaii Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education report to the Legislature biennially.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the University of Hawaii System.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure repeals and amends certain University of Hawaii reporting requirements that are outdated, duplicative, or no longer needed. 

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 242 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 


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