Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 513, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds to satisfy claims against the State for judgments, settlements, and miscellaneous claims.

Your Committee finds that meeting these claims is in the best interests of justice. Your Committee has received materials from the Attorney General indicating that thirty-eight claims should be added. Your Committee finds that these claims are legitimate claims against the State and should be paid. This brings the total number of claims in this bill to sixty-three, for a subtotal of $5,959,213.64 from the general fund, $486,481.48 from the Department of Transportation harbors fund, and $4,860,931.98 from the Department of Transportation highways fund, for a total of $11,306,627.10.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 513, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 513, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.
