Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to repeal the Department of Education storeroom revolving fund.

Your Committee agrees that the Department of Education's storeroom has reached a point where it is no longer the most resourceful way to allocate office, custodial, school, and other supplies and should be discontinued, along with the storeroom revolving fund. Slow distribution, loose inventory controls, and excessive ordering attest to the fact that it has outlived its usefulness.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3041, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
