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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Education and Technology, to which was
referred H.B. No. 2060, H.D. 2, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to provide the University of
Hawaii (UH) Community Colleges with the flexibility necessary to
manage resources and operations effectively and efficiently by
authorizing them to deposit, disburse, and account for tuition,
fees, and charges related to programs under various special and
revolving funds, comprehensively under the Community Colleges
Special Fund.

     Testimony was not received for this measure.

     Your Committee substantially amended the measure by
replacing its entire contents with S.B. No. 2962, S.D. 1, which
had a public hearing and was passed by this Committee, to:

     (1)  Establish a procedure for service of process upon the
          UH;

     (2)  Clarify that legal services formerly provided by the
          Department of the Attorney General are to be provided
          by the UH's General Counsel;


 
a                                                     HB2060 SD1

                                   Page 2


     (3)  Allow the UH to prepare for the review of the UH's
          General Counsel, a list of all uncollectible accounts,
          which, if determined to be uncollectible, shall be
          entered into a special record and deleted from the
          accounts receivable of the university;

     (4)  Exempt the UH from the requirement that it receive the
          Attorney General's approval prior to acquiring real
          property; and

     (5)  Require that all UH settlements, judgments, and
          indemnification claims be paid from legislative
          appropriations.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Education and Technology that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of H.B. No. 2060, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that
it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B.
No. 2060, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on
Ways and Means.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Education and
                                   Technology,



                                   ______________________________
