STAND. COM. REP. NO.  295-08

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2008

RE:   H.B. No. 3313

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.B. No. 3313 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STATE CAPITOL BUILDING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to simplify video broadcasts of legislative proceedings by appropriating the sum of $80,000 to wire all state capitol conference rooms used for public hearings, the capitol auditorium, and both legislative chambers.

     The League of Women Voters of Hawaii testified in support of this bill.  The Department of Accounting and General Services offered comments.

     Permanent wiring would improve production appearance and create a safer environment by eliminating temporary wires that can obstruct legislators, testifiers, and visitors.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 3313 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
