STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3427

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 63

       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 Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 63, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A FISCAL AUDIT OF THE KAHO‘OLAWE REHABILITATION TRUST FUND,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the Auditor to conduct a fiscal audit of the Kahoolawe rehabilitation trust fund.

 

      The measure also requests that the audit include a determination of whether the trust fund is being used:

 

     (1)  In compliance with state laws and any applicable grant agreements; and

 

     (2)  To effectuate the purposes of chapter 6K, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to the Kahoolawe Island Reserve, including the performance of duties and responsibilities of the Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission.

 

     Your Committee finds that the Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission oversees the control and management of the Kahoolawe Island Reserve, a place of extraordinary cultural significance.  The Commission is authorized to use moneys in the Kahoolawe rehabilitation trust fund to carry out the Commission's duties and responsibilities.  Your Committee further finds that a fiscal audit of the trust fund would promote accountability and help determine the future funding needs of the Kahoolawe Island Reserve.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 63, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
