Madam:

     Your Committees on Human Services and Public Housing and Intergovernmental and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1447 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HOUSING,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to correct chapter 356D, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to the Hawaii Public Housing Authority, to reflect the Legislature's intent to codify various acts into the chapter, and to make other necessary technical and housekeeping amendments.

     Your Committees have amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive changes for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Human Services and Public Housing and Intergovernmental and Military Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1447, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1447, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
