                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2574
                                        S.D. 1




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 2574, S.D. 1, entitled: 

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

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to authorize the community
colleges of the University of Hawaii to deposit their special
fund revenues into the Community College System's special funds.

     Your Committee finds that community colleges offer many high
school graduates alternatives to a college degree in terms of
lower cost, smaller classes, greater individual attention,
alternatives to academic courses, technical education, and so on.
Many youngsters benefit from a transitional program from high
school to college or the working world.  In meeting these
objectives, community colleges need some flexibility in managing
their budgets, and a special fund exists for the community
colleges for this purpose.  This measure specifies the kinds of
deposits that can be made into the special fund which will make
the receipt and disbursement of moneys more efficient.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
2574, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
