                                        H.D. 2
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B.
No. 1660, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HIGHER EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds to the
University of Hawaii system for the payment of utilities for
fiscal years 1999-2000 and 2000-2001.

     Your Committee finds that over the years increased utility
rates and consumption have caused a utilities shortfall in the
university system's budget.

     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 is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.
1660, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.


 
a                                                     HB1660 SD1
