                                 RE: H.B. No. 1095
                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which
was referred H.B. No. 1095 entitled: 

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

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to restart the four-year cycle
for the process to review the salaries of the trustees of the
Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

     Testimony in support of this bill was received from the
Office of the Attorney General and the Office of Hawaiian
Affairs.

     Your Committee finds that the initial salary review
commission was not appointed and the four year review cycle was
not initiated.  This bill will authorize the re-starting of the
salary review process in accordance with the revised dates.

     Your Committee has amended this bill to expedite this salary
review process by changing key dates and inserting language to
allow for the timely formation of the salary review commission.
In addition, technical and non-substantive amendments have been
made for purposes of style and clarity.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to

 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 544

this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and
purpose of H.B. No. 1095, as amended herein, and recommends that
it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No.
1095, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Judiciary &
                                   Hawaiian Affairs,



                                   ______________________________
