Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 685 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to amend the composition and voting rights of the Wireless Enhanced 911 Board by including the Comptroller on the Board and making the Director of Health an ex-officio non-voting member of the Board.

Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by the Department of Accounting and General Services and the Department of Health.

This measure includes the Comptroller as a voting member on the Wireless Enhanced 911 Board. Your Committee finds that in light of the mission and role of the Board, the inclusion of the Comptroller on the Board is appropriate.

Your Committee has amended this measure by removing the Director of Health from the Wireless Enhanced 911 Board.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 685, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 685, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
