Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1111 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds to satisfy claims against the State for refunds of taxes, judgments, settlements, and miscellaneous claims.

The State of Hawaii Attorney General submitted testimony in support of the bill.

In its original form, this bill contained thirteen claims totaling $1,458,428.23. Since the introduction of the bill, two additional claims totaling $74,133.25 have been resolved. Accordingly, your Committee has amended this bill by including the two additional claims. The amended appropriation accounts for fifteen claims totaling $1,532,561.48. In addition, the description of one claim in section 4 of this bill was amended to specify the fund source for that claim.

Other technical, nonsubstantive amendments were made for style and clarity.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1111, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1111, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
