RE:   H.B. No. 2217

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2217 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE OFFICE OF PLANNING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to help ensure greater stability and self-sustainability for the Office of Planning by establishing a Planning Special Fund (PSF) for use by the OP to fund staff with specialized duties that meet statutory and federal mandates within the OP.  Funds appropriated by the Legislature, federal funds, and private donations can be deposited into the PSF.

 

     Hawaii's Thousand Friends and a concerned individual testified in support of this bill.  The OP opposed this measure.  The Department of Budget and Finance provided comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2217 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs,
