Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Labor, to which was referred H.B. No. 2448, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STATUTORY REVISION:  AMENDING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE HAWAII REVISED STATUTES AND THE SESSION LAWS OF HAWAII FOR THE PURPOSES OF CORRECTING ERRORS AND REFERENCES, CLARIFYING LANGUAGE, AND DELETING OBSOLETE OR UNNECESSARY PROVISIONS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to make necessary technical corrections to Hawaii law by amending or repealing various provisions of the Hawaii Revised Statutes and the Session Laws of Hawaii to correct errors and references, clarify language, and delete obsolete or unnecessary provisions.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Legislative Reference Bureau and Disability and Communications Access Board.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure is a statutory revision measure that was prepared and submitted by the Legislative Reference Bureau pursuant to its statutory revision responsibilities under chapter 23G, Hawaii Revised Statutes.  The Legislative Reference Bureau testified that all of the amendments in this measure are intended to be technical in nature to correct errors, omissions, or obsolete law and are not intended to make any substantive changes to the law.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2448, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2448, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

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