STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2029

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2543

 

 

 

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. 2543 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to:

 

     (1)  Amend section 302A-1502.4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to the Hawaii 3R's school repair and maintenance fund, for housekeeping and other purposes; and

 

     (2)  Repeal section 302A-401.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to the Hawaii teacher cadet program fund.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Office of the Governor and Hawaii 3R's.  Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Department of Education.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure will streamline section 302A-1502.4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, while still supporting the important work of Hawaii 3R's in repairing, remodeling, and restoring our public schools. 

 

     Your Committee further finds that the Hawaii teacher cadet program is no longer a viable entity and it requested that the Legislature repeal the Hawaii teacher cadet program fund. 

 

     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. 2543 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

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