STAND. COM. REP. NO. 334

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.B. No. 1994

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 1994 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT MANOA,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to make an appropriation for capital improvement projects for the Campus Center building at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa.

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, the Associated Students of the University of Hawaii at Mānoa, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa Campus Center Board.

     Your Committee finds that as campus enrollment has increased steadily over the years, the University of Hawaii at Manoa Campus Center is in need of renovations and expansion.  The plans for the Campus Center expansion have received overwhelming support and approval from the students and the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1994 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
