Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 611 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to allow the Hawaii Library Foundation and the Friends of the Library of Hawaii to conduct for-profit enterprises at State Library facilities.

The Hawaii State Library System supported this bill.

Your Committee finds that it is in the public's interest to allow the use of State Library facilities for concessions by these organizations. All proceeds from the events are deposited into trust funds, and are used strictly for the benefit of the public libraries.

Your Committee has amended this bill by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of style and clarity.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 611, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 611, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
