                                     S.D. 1

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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.C.R. No.
74, S.D. 1, entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING ALL EXECUTIVE
     DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES TO SUBMIT REPORTS TO THE
     LEGISLATURE ON-LINE AND REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
     ACCOUNTING AND GENERAL SERVICES TO STUDY OTHER MEANS OF
     REDUCING PAPER USAGE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request all
executive departments and agencies to submit reports to the
Legislature on-line and request the Department of Accounting and
General Services (DAGS) to study other means of reducing paper
usage.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received by the
Department of Accounting and General Services.

     Your Committee finds that the reduction of paper usage is a
worthy goal for cost effectiveness and for environmental
concerns.  However, in the interest of receiving a comprehensive,
report and a viable set of recommendations, your Committee has
amended this measure by extending the deadline for DAGS to
December 1, 2001 in order to allow the department sufficient time
to complete its analysis.


 
 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1604-00
