RE:   H.B. No. 2902

      H.D. 1

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.B. No. 2902 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC EDUCATION GOVERNMENT TELEVISION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to effectuate its title.

     H.B. No. 2902 was introduced as a short-form bill, which is sometimes referred to as a "vehicle" bill primarily used to introduce a bill containing only a general idea as to the purpose of the bill without specific details in the long form.

     Your Committee has amended the bill to provide the substantive contents of the bill in long form so that a public hearing may be properly held on its substantive contents.

     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 action to report out H.B. No. 2902, as amended herein, and recommends that it be recommitted to the Committee on Legislative Management, for the purpose of holding a public hearing thereon, in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2902, H.D. 1.

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