Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No.
2022 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STATUTORY REVISION:
     AMENDING, REENACTING, OR REPEALING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE
     HAWAII REVISED STATUTES AND THE SESSION LAWS OF HAWAII FOR
     THE PURPOSE OF CORRECTING ERRORS AND REFERENCES, CLARIFYING
     LANGUAGE, AND DELETING OBSOLETE OR UNNECESSARY PROVISIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to amend various provisions of
the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) and the Session Laws of Hawaii
pursuant to chapter 23G, HRS, to correct errors, update
references, clarify language, and delete obsolete or unnecessary
provisions.

     Your Committee finds that all of the statutory amendments
proposed by this measure are of a purely technical nature and
either contain no substantive changes to the law, or, if they
have any substantive effect, are done simply to correct the types
of errors noted.

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the
Legislative Reference Bureau, the Hawaii State Public Library
System, the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, and the General
Contractors Association of Hawaii.

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

 
a                                                     
                                   STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2840

Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.
2022 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on
the calendar for Third Reading.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Judiciary,
