RE: S.B. No. 2834
S.D. 2
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 2834, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR CLAIMS AGAINST THE STATE, ITS OFFICERS, OR ITS EMPLOYEES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds to satisfy claims against the State for tax refunds, judgments, settlements, and miscellaneous claims.
The Department of the Attorney General testified in support of this measure.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Including six additional claims totaling $561,818.84, that have been resolved since the passage of S.B. No. 2834, S.D. 1;
(2) Correcting the civil case number for Tapaoan, et al. v. State of Hawaii; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
Including the new amendments, the appropriation request totals $6,961,806.94 allocated among 35 claims. Your Committee notes for clarity that the $20,000 settlement amount in Gay v. Department of Education, Civil No. 02-00454 DAE-KSC, USDC, is split between a $10,000 appropriation from the general fund (section 1 of this bill), and a $10,000 appropriation from the Department of Education's operating budget (section 4).
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2834, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2834, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
