STAND. COM. REP. 2214
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2004
RE: S.B. No. 2834
S.D. 1
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. 2834 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 measure is to appropriate funds to satisfy claims for legislative relief, judgements against the State, settlements, and miscellaneous claims.
Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the State Attorney General.
Your Committee finds that this measure contains twenty-nine claims that total $6,399,988.10. Of this total, $5,540,571.98 are general fund appropriation requests and $859,416.12 are appropriation requests from various departmental funds. As such, your Committee believes that these appropriations are necessary to satisfy claims for legislative relief, judgements against the State, settlements, and miscellaneous claims.
Your Committee adopted the recommendation of the State Attorney General by amending section 5 of the bill to amend:
(1) The named department from education to "business, economic development, and tourism/Hawaii tourism authority"; and
(2) The "Tourism Special Fund (BED 113)" to "Tourism Special Fund (BED 113TO)."
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. 2834, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2834, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,
