Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1737 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to ensure Hawaii's continued participation in the development of uniform legislation by appropriating funds for Hawaii's contribution to the costs of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) and for related registration and travel expenses.

The NCCUSL was created to determine which areas of the law should be uniformly enacted in all states. NCCUSL assists the states in improving the laws for better interstate relations.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1737 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
