Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2001
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 1208, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, 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 clarify the role of the Office for the Senior Vice President for Legal Affairs and University General Counsel (UH General Counsel) in representing the University of Hawaii (UH) by:
(1) Establishing service of process requirements for UH;
(2) Specifying the UH General Counsel, and not the Attorney General, represent members of the Board of Regents in civil actions; and
(3) Recognizing the UH's General Counsel as the attorney authorized to provide certain legal services to UH.
UH testified in support of this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Requiring UH to submit an annual report to the Legislature that summarizes its uncollectable accounts prior to the convening of each Regular Session; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1208, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1208, S.D. 1, H.D. 3.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
