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. 734 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds for the payment of judgments against, and settlements entered into by, the University of Hawaii (UH) for the satisfaction of claims against UH, its officers, and employees.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from UH.

Your Committee recognizes that the substance of this bill involves primarily legal issues, which is under the purview of the House Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, and therefore, your Committee took no substantive action on the 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. 734 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.
