Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives
in S.B. No. 1157, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:  

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STATE LIBRARIAN," 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to
recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final
passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this measure is to allow the Board of
Education to appoint the State Librarian without regard to state
residency provisions and for a term of up to four years.  In
addition, this measure allows the State Librarian to receive
additional compensation from private sources.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting the
provision which allows the State Librarian to receive additional
compensation from private sources.  In so doing, this measure
sets the salary of the State Librarian at $85,302.  Additionally,
the effective date was changed to July 1, 1999.
