RE: H.B. No. 2354

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations, to which was referred H.B. No. 2354 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION TO RISK MANAGEMENT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to:

(1) Make an emergency appropriation of $1,550,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed state facilities; and

(2) Increase the expenditure ceiling of the State Risk Management Revolving Fund to $12,000,000 to facilitate payment of claims.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Department of Accounting and General Services.

This is an emergency appropriation, made pursuant to Article VII, Section 9, of the State Constitution. Your Committee finds that the emergency appropriation is requested for non-recurring claims, namely, to repair or replace damaged or destroyed state facilities. Your Committee finds that these claims are reasonable.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2354, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations,
