       H.D. 1

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 843, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HAWAII COMMUNITY COLLEGE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate funds for three temporary full-time positions in the applied technical education program at Hawaii Community College.

 

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

 

     Your Committee recognizes that the instruction provided by Hawaii Community College has helped many students prepare for careers in the State.  Your Committee also recognizes that the college needs additional support to accommodate students who are pursuing jobs in various technical areas.  Accordingly, your Committee finds merit in funding additional positions for the college's technical education program.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2035, to facilitate further discussion on the measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 843, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 843, H.D. 1, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
