begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to change the title of the Executive Director of the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) to Chief Executive Officer.

The Executive Director of NELHA testified in support of the bill as the duties expected of the position are more comparable to those of a Chief Executive Officer.
