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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was
referred S.B. No. 1242, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE LEGISLATURE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to:

     (1)  Transfer responsibility for analyzing new special,
          revolving, or trust funds from the Auditor to the
          Legislative Analyst;

     (2)  Specify additional criteria for consideration by the
          Legislative Analyst;

     (3)  Appropriate funds to the Legislative Analyst;

     (4)  Appropriate funds for additional support to the Auditor
          for continuing audits or studies commissioned by the
          Legislature; and

     (5)  Appropriate funds for dues for the Council of State
          Governments.

     The Auditor, League of Women Voters, and Common Cause of
Hawaii supported this bill.

                                 Page 2

 
     Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this
measure by deleting the contents of this bill and retaining the
following:

     (1)  Appropriation for additional support to the Auditor for
          continuing audits or studies commissioned by the
          Legislature; and

     (5)  Appropriation for dues for the Council of State
          Governments.

     Your Committee notes that another bill, S.B. No. 2544, S.D.
1, which affects the Office of the Legislative Analyst, was heard
the same time as this bill.  It is the intention of your
Committee to insert those sections transferring responsibility
for the analysis of new special, revolving, and trust funds from
the Auditor to the Office of the Legislative Analyst in S.B. No.
2544, S.D. 1.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of S.B. No. 1242, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that
it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No.
1242, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on
Finance.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Legislative
                                   Management,



                                   ______________________________
                                   EZRA KANOHO, Chair
