RE:   H.C.R. No. 305

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services & Housing, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 305 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A PROGRAM AND FINANCIAL AUDIT OF HONOLULU COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Auditor to conduct a program and financial audit of the Honolulu Community Action Program (HCAP).

 

     Several concerned individuals testified in support of this concurrent resolution.  HCAP and a concerned individual provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this concurrent resolution by:

 

     (1)  Changing its title to, "REQUESTING THE HONOLULU COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAM TO PROVIDE COPIES OF AUDITS CONDUCTED ON BEHALF OF THE STATE";

 

     (2)  Requesting HCAP to provide to the Legislature no later than 20 days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2008, copies of any audits conducted on behalf of the State on the use of state funds since the 2005 fiscal year, and a report on its programs and use of funds, instead of requesting the Auditor to conduct an audit;

 

     (3)  Removing the Auditor from the list of persons to receive a certified copy of this concurrent resolution; and

 

     (4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services & Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 305, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Legislative Management in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 305, H.D. 1.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services & Housing,
