Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 1414, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for the State of Hawaii's annual contribution to the costs of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) and to fund registration and travel expenses for Hawaii's delegation to the 2001 annual meeting of the NCCUSL.

Your Committee on Conference finds that the NCCUSL is a unique institution created over one hundred years ago to create proposals for state laws, particularly in areas where uniformity among state laws is important.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by appropriating the sum of $12,500.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1414, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1414, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
