Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No.
3125, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLICATION OF NOTICE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to exempt the counties from
publication of notice requirements under section 1-28.5, Hawaii
Revised Statutes (HRS), except for those notices required under
chapters 103D (Hawaii Public Procurement Code) and 103F
(Purchases of Health and Human Services), HRS.

     The Mayor of Maui County, the County Clerk and the
Department of Finance of Hawaii County, and the Hawaii Newspaper
Agency testified in support of this measure.  Common Cause Hawaii
commented on this measure.  The Department of Accounting and
General Services opposed this measure.

     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 S.B. No.
3125, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
