Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2476 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to amend various provisions of the Hawaii Revised Statutes and the Session Laws of Hawaii pursuant to chapter 23G, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to correct errors, update references, clarify language, and delete obsolete or unnecessary language.

Your Committee finds that all of the statutory amendments proposed by the measure are of a purely technical nature and either contain no substantive changes to the law or, if they have any substantive effect, are done simply to correct the types of errors noted in the title of this bill.

Your Committee notes that one or two items in this bill such as a missing end quotation mark, if they need to be corrected at all, can be corrected through the administrative authority of the Revisor of Statutes pursuant to chapter 23G, Hawaii Revised Statutes, when H.B. No. 2476 is duly enacted into law and printed in the Session Laws of Hawaii, 2006 and the 2006 Supplement to the Hawaii Revised Statutes.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2476, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
