STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2327

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2349

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 2349 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF HAWAII RELATING TO THE STATE EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT SPECIAL FUND,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to propose an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Hawaii that would repeal the state educational facilities improvement special fund's exemption from the requirement that appropriated monies be lapsed after three years.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Budget and Finance.  Your Committee received testimony in opposition to this measure from the Department of Education.

 

     Your Committee finds that S.B. No. 2348, Regular Session of 2012 (S.B. No. 2348), proposes to repeal the state educational facilities improvement special fund.  The constitutional amendment proposed in this measure is necessary for housekeeping purposes in the event the state educational facilities improvement special fund is repealed.  Your Committee encourages further discussion on this measure and S.B. No. 2348, as both measures progress through the legislature.

 

     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 S.B. No. 2349 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committees on Judiciary and Labor and Ways and Means.

 

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