Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.R. No. 24 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Auditor to conduct a review of the Department of Accounting and General Services' Performance Information Procurement System ("PIPS").

The Department of Accounting and General Services ("DAGS") and numerous contractors testified in support.

Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting the request for an Auditor's study, and instead requesting DAGS to form an advisory committee to make recommendations to improve the PIPS system.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 24, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 24, H.D. 1.
