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. 946 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to establish the Pearl City High School Cultural Center (Center) reserve account in the state treasury. The funds will be used for:

(1) Repair and maintenance; and

(2) Purchasing of equipment and supplies.

The excess moneys shall go to the state general fund.

The Department of Education and Pearl City High School supported the bill.

Your Committee finds that the Center is a great asset to the community that is often used by various groups around the island. A reserve account is necessary to maintain the heavily used Center and keep it in suitable condition for community use.

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. 946 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
