RE: S.B. No. 3214
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 Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 3214 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS AND MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR A HOMELESS SHELTER IN WEST HAWAII,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to authorize the issuance of general obligation bonds and to make an appropriation for a homeless shelter in West Hawaii in West Hawaii.
Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Mayor of the County of Hawaii and Hawaii Office of Housing and Community Development.
Your Committee finds that there are a substantial number of homeless persons in West Hawaii and no designated shelter to provide services for the homeless. This measure provides for the design and construction of a homeless shelter in West Hawaii to address the growing needs of the community.
This measure assists the efforts of the County of Hawaii to provide temporary housing for those homeless persons in need.
Your Committee has amended this measure by making an unspecified appropriation in deference to the Committee on Ways and Means.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3214, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3214, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations,
____________________________ CAL KAWAMOTO, Chair |
