Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 466, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE OFFICE OF ELECTIONS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to improve the administration of federal elections with the aid of federal funding by appropriating $372,341 for fiscal year 2005-2006 and the same sum for fiscal year 2006-2007 which will meet the five percent matching requirement for federal funds under the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002.
The Office of Elections, The League of Women Voters of Hawaii, and Safe Vote Hawaii supported this bill.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the appropriation amount to $1 for each fiscal year to promote further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for style, clarity, and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 466, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 466, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
