RE: S.B. No. 2711
S.D. 2
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2711, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII TOURISM AUTHORITY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to allow the Hawaii Tourism Authority to employ its own attorneys.
The bill also appropriates $8,000,000 for fiscal year 2004-2005 to improve the operational and financial efficiency of the Hawaii Tourism Authority; provided that the sum appropriated shall be in addition to the sums appropriated out of the tourism special fund in the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2004 or any other Act enacted during the 2004 regular session.
Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this bill by changing the appropriated sum of $8,000,000 to an unspecified amount to facilitate further discussion. Your Committee has also made several technical nonsubstantive amendments for the purpose of clarity.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2711, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2711, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
