RE:   H.B. No. 851

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 851 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION OF SCHOOL CHILDREN,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

                The purpose of this measure is to provide greater flexibility to the Department of Education in the contracting of student transportation by repealing certain statutory regulations pertaining to student transportation including, among other things:

 

     (1)  Factors the Department must consider in developing transportation policy, procedures, and programs;

 

     (2)  Requirements related to school bus contract extensions and school bus contractor compensation; and

 

     (3)  Specified limits on the age of school bus vehicles.

 

     The Department of Education supported this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 851 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 Education,
