RE:   S.B. No. 2584

      S.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 2584, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TUITION ASSISTANCE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to increase access to the State's tuition assistance program for Hawaii National Guard members who are resident students working toward a degree within the University of Hawaii system by expanding eligibility to all commissioned officers of the Hawaii National Guard and members working toward a graduate degree.  This measure also appropriates general revenues to support the tuition assistance program.

 

     The University of Hawaii System, State Department of Defense, and Hawaii National Guard Enlisted Association supported this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2584, S.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

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