Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 972 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 encourage more students to participate in the political process by appropriating funds to increase stipends to $3,000 for legislative interns under the University of Hawaii (UH) College of Social Sciences Capitol internship program.
A concerned individual testified in support of this measure. UH supported the intent of this measure but raised fiscal concerns.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; 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. 972, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 972, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Legislative Management.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education,
