RE: H.B. No. 662
H.D. 2
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 662, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII SPORTS HALL OF FAME,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to:
(1) Establish a permanent public body known as the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame, headed by a board of directors (board) and administratively attached to the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS); and
(2) Create the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame Special Fund to support operations of the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame.
The Stadium Authority submitted testimony in support of this bill. DAGS submitted comments.
Your Committee notes that in its written testimony, DAGS suggested that:
(1) The State Comptroller be added to the board to allow DAGS to fulfil its administrative and fiscal responsibilities under the bill; and
(2) The board should not be exempt from the concessions and procurement laws under chapters 102 and 103D, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to ensure fairness in procurement and to obtain the best value for public expenditures.
Your Committee finds that further consideration should be given to this matter.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2010, to facilitate further discussion; and
(2) Making technical nonsubstantive changes for purposes of style and clarity.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 662, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 662, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
