C.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1745, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO REPORTS TO THE LEGISLATURE,"
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The purpose of this bill is to improve the Judiciary's efficiency by eliminating reporting requirements that are outdated or perfunctory. This measure also repeals the reporting requirement regarding the activities and expenses of the State Council for Interstate Adult Offender Supervision.
Your Committee on Conference finds that many of the reporting requirements addressed by this bill should be eliminated because they frequently offer minimal or no new information. However, your Committee on Conference also finds that several of these reporting requirements relating to family court matters serve an important purpose and should be continued.
Accordingly, your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Restoring the Judiciary's mandatory reports relating to:
(A) Parental preferences in government contracts, programs, and services that affect parental roles in children's health, welfare, and education;
(B) Receipts of and expenditures from the Spouse and Child Abuse Special Account; and
(C) All deposits and expenditures from the Parent Education Special Fund;
and
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2005.
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 H.B. No. 1745, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1745, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
