                                   RE:  S.B. No. 802
                                        




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 802 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE COMMISSION ON PERSONS
     WITH DISABILITIES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to create the compliance review
special fund for the Commission on Persons with Disabilities.

     This measure establishes the compliance review special fund
and authorizes the commission to charge reasonable fees to review
private sector building plans to determine compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act.  All fees received by the
Commission on Persons with Disabilities for reviewing private
sector building plans shall be deposited into the fund.

     Your Committee finds that establishing this fund will
contribute to the Commission on Persons with Disabilities
becoming a self-supporting agency of government.  Your Committee
finds that allowing the commission to charge reasonable fees for
their services will not displace private sector services in this
area.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your

 
a                                                     SB802

Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
802 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

                                 Respectfully submitted on behalf
                                 of the members of the Committee
                                 on Ways and Means,



                                 ________________________________
