Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 3113
S.D. 1
H.D. 1
C.D. 1
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
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. 3113, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO VOTING,"
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 measure is to propose an amendment to article V, section 6, of the Constitution of the State of Hawaii to provide for the election of the Attorney General and the Insurance Commissioner.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by replacing the entire contents of the measure with the provisions of S.B. No. 3113, S.D. 1. The Conference draft of the measure allows absentee ballots to be mailed to residents of Kalaupapa automatically, without the need to file an absentee-ballot application.
The C.D. 1 would allow Kalaupapa residents to fully enjoy the right to vote, due to their geographical isolation which makes normal absentee voting procedures onerous.
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. 3113, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3113, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE |
ON THE PART OF THE SENATE |
