RE: H.B. No. 1025
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Development & Business Concerns, to which was referred H.B. No. 1025 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PROCUREMENT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to ease the administrative burden on departments and vendors in negotiating state procurement contracts by:
(1) Requiring that documents provided by an offeror after the award of a contract to demonstrate compliance with all laws relating to doing business in Hawaii are valid for one year; and
(2) Providing that offerors for contracts of less than $5,000 need only submit a tax clearance.
The Department of Accounting and General Services, Department of Budget and Finance, and State Procurement Office supported the intent of this bill.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development & Business Concerns that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1025 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development & Business Concerns,
|
