STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3047

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 89

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Agriculture, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 89 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A MANAGEMENT AUDIT OF THE MEASUREMENT STANDARDS BRANCH WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the Auditor to conduct a management audit of the Department of Agriculture's Measurement Standards Branch.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Agriculture.

 

     Your Committee finds that the Department of Agriculture's Measurement Standards Branch has lost several positions through attrition and the reduction of force in 2009.  There are currently only three inspectors in the branch.  This measure will allow the Auditor to conduct a management audit and provide recommendations on the resources necessary for the Measurement Standards Branch to fully and properly carry out its duties and responsibilities.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Agriculture that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 89, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 89, S.D. 1.

 

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