Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 3120, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to increase the fiscal year 2006-2007 appropriation for the B Plus scholarship program.
Your Committee finds that this measure will assist the University of Hawaii at broadening student access to higher education by increasing need-based aid for Hawaii residents.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Appropriating an unspecified amount of funds to establish a workforce development scholarship program that will provide scholarships to individuals based upon need at the community colleges;
(2) Specifying that state funds for all scholarship programs shall be deposited into a separate account within the student scholarship and assistance special fund; and
(3) Changing the appropriation for the B Plus scholarship program to an unspecified amount.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3120, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3120, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
