STAND. COM. REP. NO. 504-06
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2006
RE: H.B. No. 3158
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 3158 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to appropriate $5,408,017 for utility and maintenance expenses of the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa.
A concerned individual testified in support of this bill. UH supported the intent of this measure.
Your Committee finds that many of UH's buildings system-wide are in dire need of repair and maintenance. An appropriation dedicated to meet these utility, repair, and maintenance needs will help UH recover from continuous budget cuts and shortfalls.
Accordingly, your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Broadening its scope to include the utility, repair, and maintenance requests of all campuses in the UH System by appropriating the sum of $84,000,000; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 3158, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 3158, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education,
|
