Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was
referred S.C.R. No. 47 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO
     REVIEW AND IDENTIFY FISCALLY-RELATED POWERS CONFERRED UPON
     OR ASSUMED BY THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH SINCE 1987 THAT MAY BE
     RECLAIMED BY THE LEGISLATURE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request that
the Auditor review and identify fiscally-related powers conferred
upon or assumed by the Executive Branch since 1987 that may be
reclaimed by the Legislature.

     Your Committee finds that this measure is necessary to
ensure balance in executive-legislative fiscal relations between
these two branches of government.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this
report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of
S.C.R. No. 47 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee
on Finance.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Legislative
                                   Management, 



                                   _______________________________
                                   EZRA R. KANOHO, Chair
