RE: H.B. No. 543
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2001
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 543 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HOMELESS PROGRAMS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to eliminate redundant audits by:
(1) Removing the requirement that the Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii (HCDCH) conduct an independent compliance audit of homeless program service providers who have contracts with the State;
(2) Authorizing HCDCH to accept the results of audits performed by independent auditors that have been contracted by service providers; and
(3) Removing the requirement that copies of the independent audits be submitted to the Director of Finance, President of the Senate, and Speaker of the House of Representatives.
HCDCH, Institute for Human Services, Inc., Kalihi-Palama Health Center, and the Affordable Housing and Homeless Alliance submitted testimony in support of this bill.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 543 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
|
