STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1603

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.C.R. No. 48

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Higher Education and Ways and Means, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 48 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A TASK FORCE TO EXAMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF FORMING A UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT HILO MEN'S VOLLEYBALL TEAM,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the University of Hawaii at Hilo to establish a task force to examine the feasibility of forming a University of Hawaii at Hilo men's volleyball team.

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the University of Hawaii at Hilo and four individuals.

 

     Your Committees find that while there are six men's and seven women's athletic teams representing the University of Hawaii at Hilo at the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II level, the University of Hawaii at Hilo is not represented by a men's volleyball team.  Your Committees believe that it is worthwhile to explore the feasibility of forming a men's volleyball team at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.

 

     Your Committees have amended this measure by making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Higher Education and Ways and Means that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 48, as amended herein, and recommend its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 48, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Higher Education and Ways and Means,
