Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred
H.B. No. 2065 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
     FOR HIGHER EDUCATION,"


begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to authorize funding for various
capital improvement projects for the University of Hawaii.

     Testimony in support of the bill was received from the
University of Hawaii and the University of Hawaii Professional
Assembly.

     Your Committee finds that to provide quality education, the
University of Hawaii's infrastructure must be maintained and
developed adequately. The projects contained in this bill focus
on this goal and include the University's repairs and
maintenance, renovations of existing facilities and new projects.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

     (1)  Adding a total of $1,000,001 for plans and construction
          of a soccer/track & field stadium; and

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for the
          purposes of clarity.
