Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1302 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to make technical, housekeeping amendments relating to the authority of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) to award monetary grants.

Testimony supporting this measure was submitted by OHA.

Your Committee finds that this measure does not make substantive changes to the rights or obligations of the Procurement Office or OHA with respect to OHA's award of monetary grants. It returns the language in Chapters 103D and 103F, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to its form prior to Act 182, Session Laws of Hawaii 2002, and moves the operative language authorizing OHA's grant awarding authority into Chapter 10, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1302, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
