STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1240
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: H.B. No. 1012
H.D. 1
S.D. 2
Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui
President of the Senate
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1012, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to support the Department of the Attorney General's efforts in connection with the 2011 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders Meeting in Honolulu by appropriating funds for law enforcement personnel and their related operating and equipment costs to ensure a safe and successful meeting.
Your Committee finds that, as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders Meeting is expected to be attended by the President of the United States, heads of state, cabinet ministers, business leaders, and government officials, it is imperative that the State provide a safe venue for the event. The funding of this measure will enable the planning and operation of security services and activities necessary for the protection of the Asian and Pacific officials and leaders who will be attending the November 2011 meeting.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the appropriation to an unspecified amount to facilitate continued discussion.
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. 1012, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1012, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
