RE:    S.B. No. 2121

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Education and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 2121 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE EARLY LEARNING COUNCIL,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow the Early Learning Council to conduct meetings by teleconference and sets quorum requirements, public notice requirements, and public participation requirements for teleconference meetings.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by two state agencies and two private organizations.  One state agency provided comments.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure allows for more cost-effective participation by Early Learning Council members on the neighbor islands and encourages greater public participation in council meetings.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education and Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2121 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education and Housing,
