State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 1127, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE PUBLIC PROCUREMENT CODE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to streamline certain purchases under the Procurement Code by:
(1) Eliminating provisions that required offerors awarded a contract to be:
(A) Incorporated or organized under the laws of the State; or
(B) Registered to do business in the state as a separate branch or division capable of fully performing under the contract;
and
(2) Removing small purchase procurement contracts from the list verified by the procuring officer to ensure compliance with laws governing entities conducting business in the state.
The State Procurement Office, Department of Accounting and General Services, City and County of Honolulu, and County of Hawaii testified in support of this bill. The Department of Budget and Finance supported the intent of this measure.
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. 1127, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
