                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1299
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Education and Technology, to which was
referred S.B. No. 1299 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PROGRAM EXECUTION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to streamline the University
of Hawaii operations by removing a requirement to report each
position and fund transfer in quarterly reports to the Governor
and annual reports to the Legislature.

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the
Department of Budget and Finance, and the University of Hawaii.

     Your Committee agrees with the testimony given and finds
that these transfer reports are not necessary as none of the
other Executive departments have such a requirement.  In
addition, deleting this requirement is consistent with the spirit
of autonomy and flexibility offered the University by Act 115,
Session Laws of Hawaii 1998.

     Your Committee has amended this measure to make technical,
nonsubstantive changes to section 1 to properly reflect the
statutory language and preferred drafting style.

     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 S.B. No. 1299, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass

 
a                                                     SB1299 SD1

Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1299,
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,



                                   ______________________________
