STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1357
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2001
RE: H.B. No. 1159
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2001
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1159 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STATUTORY REVISION: AMENDING, REENACTING, OR REPEALING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE HAWAII REVISED STATUTES AND THE SESSION LAWS OF HAWAII FOR THE PURPOSE OF CORRECTING ERRORS AND REFERENCES, CLARIFYING LANGUAGE, AND DELETING OBSOLETE OR UNNECESSARY PROVISIONS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to make general statutory revisions to correct drafting errors and statutory cross references, clarify statutory language, and delete obsolete or unnecessary provisions.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB).
Each year the LRB prepares this type of measure to correct statutory errors, usually arising from the previous session's Acts. These amendments are nonsubstantive, technical changes.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1159 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
|
