RE:    H.B. No. 2670

       H.D. 1

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 2670, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to increase to $5,000,000 the cap on the amount of funds that the University of Hawaii Board of Regents may expend from the University of Hawaii Tuition and Fees Special Fund to promote alumni relations and generate private donations.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the University of Hawaii.  The written comment may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that during the current economic downturn, fundraising is especially important for the University of Hawaii.  Your Committee further finds that this measure affords the University of Hawaii flexibility in the amount that it is authorized to invest in its fundraising campaign.

 

     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. 2670, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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