, 2001
RE: H.B. No. 733
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2001
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 733 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to:
(1) Clarify how service of process can be made upon the University of Hawaii (UH);
(2) Allow the university general counsel (general counsel) to represent and defend any member of the board of regents of UH;
(3) Provide the general counsel the authority to deem what UH accounts are uncollectible and should be deleted from the accounts receivable records of the UH; and
(4) Exempt UH from the requirements of obtaining prior approval from the Attorney General before acquiring title, right, or interest in real property.
Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by UH.
Your Committee believes that the Committee on Judiciary and
Hawaiian Affairs would be the more appropriate committee to address the legal issues raised in this measure. Therefore, your Committee made no substantive amendments to this measure.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 733 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education,
