Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 20, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to extend for another year the sunset date of June 30, 2005, for Act 321, Session Laws of Hawaii 1986.

Your Committee finds that Act 321 provides the University of Hawaii and the Department of Education a certain degree of fiscal autonomy. Your Committee finds that extending the sunset date another year instead of making the law permanent, will allow further consideration of making this law permanent.

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 H.B. No. 20, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
