STAND. COM. REP. NO. 647

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 1300

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1300 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE JUNIOR RESERVE OFFICERS' TRAINING CORPS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for six instructor positions for Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps programs at public high schools in the State.

 

     Your Committee finds that Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program builds character, discipline, and positive self images in young men and women.  Your Committee also finds that the funds appropriated by this measure will ensure that Lahainaluna, Kapolei, and Mililani High Schools will be able to establish Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps programs upon invitations from either the United States Army or the United States Navy to continue the proud heritage of Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps programs in Hawaii schools.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2090 to facilitate further discussion on the measure; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments.

 

     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 S.B. No. 1300, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1300, S.D. 1.

 

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