Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 121 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB) to conduct a study of the current policies and criteria used in conducting sunrise reviews of certain professional and vocational regulatory programs pursuant to chapter 26H, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

An individual testified in support of this concurrent resolution. The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs commented on this concurrent resolution.

Your Committee believes that a study of the policies and criteria used in conducting sunrise reviews will help the Legislature determine whether current factors used to review certain programs should be modified or additional factors should be considered.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 121 and recommends its adoption.
