Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2720, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to amend certain provisions of Act 51, Session Laws of Hawaii 2004, to repeal the transfer of functions from the Departments of Budget and Finance, Attorney General, and Human Services to the Department of Education, and to delay for one year the transfer of school health aides and public health nurses from the Department of Health to the Department of Education.

Your Committee on Conference has accepted the Senate Draft 2 version of this measure. Accordingly, the measure has been amended by delaying for one year, rather than repealing, the transfer of functions from certain state departments to the Department of Education.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2720, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2720, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
