Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 3041, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to repeal the Department of Education (DOE) Storeroom and the Storeroom Revolving Fund.

DOE and the Hawaii State Teachers Association submitted testimony in support of this bill.

Your Committee finds that the DOE Storeroom is no longer the most efficient method of distributing supplies to schools because of slow service and the difficulty of poor inventory control and excessive ordering of some items.

Your Committee has amended this bill by deleting its substance and inserting the contents of H.B. No. 2787, H.D.2.

As amended, this bill:

(1) Repeals the DOE Storeroom; and

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 S.B. No. 3041, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3041, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
