                                        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. 1083, H.D. 2, S.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 consolidate several special
or revolving funds of the Department of Commerce and Consumer
Affairs into the compliance resolution fund.

     Specifically, this measure requires that all revenues, fees,
and fines collected by the department will be deposited into the
compliance resolution fund.  Exemptions are created for specified
funds and revenue sources.

     This measure also exempts the compliance resolution fund
from central service expenses and administrative expenses.

     Your Committee finds that the compliance resolution fund is
an existing fund.  Consolidation of several individual funds into
one fund will streamline governmental efficiency and reduce the
costs of government.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your

 
a                                                     HB1083 SD1

Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.
1083, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

                                 Respectfully submitted on behalf
                                 of the members of the Committee
                                 on Ways and Means,
