Honorable Robert Bunda

Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2716, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this bill is to improve the organization of the higher education laws by establishing the Higher Education Statutory Analysis Interim Study Group (Study Group) to, with the assistance of the Legislative Reference Bureau:
(1) Determine an improved framework for statutes relating to higher education and the University of Hawaii; and
(2) Make recommendations for changes to the statutes.
Your Committee on Conference finds that recodifying the higher education statutes will provide better organization of these important laws and allow them to be more effectively implemented.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:
(1) Specifying that the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate, rather than the chairs of the House Committee on Higher Education and the Senate Committee on Education, shall appoint the members of the Study Group; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for style and clarity.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2716, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2716, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
