Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2200 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to repeal the administrative rulemaking requirements for the Running Start program.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Department of Education.

Your Committee finds that both the Department of Education and the University of Hawaii need flexibility in order to establish mutually agreeable programs without compromising existing statutes and policies. Eliminating administrative rulemaking requirements for the Running Start program will help the Department and the University institute educational programs.

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 S.B. No. 2200 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
