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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No.
1145, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
     AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to support the Department of
Commerce and Consumer Affairs' (DCCA) move toward self-
sufficiency by combining most of DCCA's special and revolving
funds into the DCCA Compliance Resolution Fund, which would be
used to fund DCCA operations, but would not be subject to central
service and departmental administrative expense reimbursement
deductions or other reversions to the general fund.

     DCCA testified in support of this measure.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical,
nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and style.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
1145, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it
pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1145,
S.D. 2, H.D. 2.


 
 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1718

                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Finance,
