STAND. COM. REP. NO. 9
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 163
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Education and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 163 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to repeal the district business and fiscal officer positions within the Department of Education.
Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by one state agency.
Your Committee finds that beginning with Act 213, Session Laws of Hawaii, 2007, the Legislature has provided through appropriations for one business manager position for each of the fifteen complex areas to support the schools and officers within each complex. As a result, the district business and fiscal officer positions in section 302A-604.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, are unnecessary and their repeal will have no effect on the operations of the Department.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education and Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 163 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 and Housing,
