                                 RE: H.B. No. 2410
                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No.
2410 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE RELIEF OF CERTAIN
     PERSONS' CLAIMS AGAINST THE STATE AND PROVIDING
     APPROPRIATIONS THEREFOR,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds to satisfy
claims for legislative relief, judgments against the State,
settlements, and miscellaneous claims.

     The State Attorney General supported this bill, but
recommended amending the bill to reflect new claims and to make
other corrections.

     Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this
bill by:

     (1)  Adding new claims which have been finalized since the
          bill was originally drafted; and

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

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.

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