Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

Madam and Sir:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2256, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this measure is to:

     (1)  Authorize the Department of Education to assess and collect fees for parking on roadways and in parking areas under the jurisdiction of the Department and to adopt rules relating to the assessment and collection of the parking fees;

     (2)  Authorize the Department of Education to contract with the Department of Accounting and General Services or a private entity to assess and collect the parking fees; and

     (3)  Specify the appropriate funds into which the parking fees shall be deposited.

     Your Committee on Conference finds that this measure would provide the Department of Education with a much-needed additional source of revenue to address recent restrictions and reductions in funding for public education.

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by changing the effective date from July 1, 2020, to July 1, 2010.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2256, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2256, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
