STAND. COM. REP. NO.915
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2003
RE: S.B. No. 75
S.D. 2
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 75, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to formally establish a temporary State P-20 Council (Council) to provide leadership in bringing a measure of continuity to the different levels of public education.
Your Committee finds that the Council has already been informally established among the University of Hawaii, the Department of Education, and the Good Beginnings Alliance. This measure serves to formally recognize the Council and to reaffirm the Legislature's commitment and oversight of the Council's goals and activities. In this regard, the Council should consider the involvement of the Hawaii Workforce Development Council in the exercise of their duties and responsibilities.
Your Committee has amended this measure by specifying that the Council will conduct its first review of its role and efficacy prior to June 30, 2007, which is before the repeal of this measure by operation of law.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 75, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 75, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
____________________________ BRIAN T. TANIGUCHI, Chair |
