Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committees on Higher Education and Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2051 entitled:

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

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to allow the University of Hawaii (UH) to more efficiently establish fees for campus parking by exempting the rulemaking process from the public notice, public hearing, and gubernatorial approval requirements of Hawaii's administrative procedures law.

     The UH System testified in support of this bill.  The UH Student Caucus opposed this measure.  A concerned individual offered comments.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Higher Education and Judiciary that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2051 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Higher Education and Judiciary,
