Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 1038, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII PROCUREMENT INSTITUTE,"

The Department of Accounting and General Services, UH, Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, General Contractors Association of Hawaii, Coalition of Hawaii Engineering & Architectural Professionals, Environet, Inc., Hawaii Procurement Institute's Education Committee, and several concerned individuals supported this bill. The State Procurement Office provided comments.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for clarity, consistency, and style.
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 S.B. No. 1038, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1038, S.D. 2, H.D. 1.
