Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred S.B. No. 1317 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to advance the deadline for the annual filing of financial interests disclosure statements by public officers and employees from May 31st to May 15th.

The Hawaii State Ethics Commission (Commission) testified in support of this measure.

Your Committee finds that moving the deadline for filing the annual disclosure of financial interests statements would help the Commission and its clerical avoid a needless crunch of work at the end of May.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1317 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.
