                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2961
                                        S.D. 2




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. 2961, S.D. 1, entitled: 

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

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to appropriate general funds to
satisfy claims against the University of Hawaii.

     Your Committee finds there is sufficient justification for
the payment of the settlements and miscellaneous claims submitted
to the Legislature for relief.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by specifying that
it is the general fund into which unexpended and unencumbered
balances lapse.

     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.
2961, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass
Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2961, S.D.
2.
