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. 614 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to repeal the Public-private Partners for Literacy Trust Fund (Trust Fund) and the Advisory Alliance for Literacy and Lifelong Learning (Alliance).

The Hawaii State Public Library System supported this bill.

Your Committee finds that the Trust Fund and Alliance are no longer needed, as the Hawaii State Public Library System has subsumed literacy programs into a central office of the Library Development Services.

Your Committee has amended the bill by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments to conform with standard drafting conventions.

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. 614, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance, in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 614, H.D. 1
