Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 2378, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to require, beginning on January 1, 2014, members of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) Board of Trustees (Board) to be nominated at a primary election and elected at the general election, rather than be elected at a special election held in conjunction with the general election.

 

     Several concerned individuals supported this bill.  A concerned individual opposed this measure.  OHA provided comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2378, S.D. 2, 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 Judiciary,
