                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1155
                                        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 S.B.
No. 1155 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO REALLOCATION OF VACANT
     LIBRARY POSITIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to extend the already existing
authority of the State Librarian to administratively reallocate
vacant positions and to establish temporary positions for three
years, until 2002.

     Your Committee finds that in order to use the State's
limited resources in the most efficient manner, the State
Librarian must have the flexibility to reallocate vacant
positions, establish temporary positions, or both, as needs
change in the library system due to demographics or other
circumstances.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by making technical
nonsubstantive changes.

     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 S.B. No.
1155, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third
Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1155, S.D. 1.

 
a                                                      SB1155 SD1

                                 of the members of the Committee
                                 on Ways and Means,
