STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2460
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2649
S.D. 2
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2649, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII PROJECTS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to extend the sunset date for appropriations to the University of Hawaii for the construction and repair of student housing.
Your Committee received comments from the University of Hawaii in support of this measure. Written comments submitted to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.
Your Committee finds that the University of Hawaii's student housing facilities are critical to attracting students to the University and to preserve an active campus life. Your Committee also finds that the University of Hawaii has made significant improvements to its student housing. Currently, appropriations made for the construction and repair of student housing pursuant to Act 138, Session Laws of Hawaii 2005, will lapse on June 30, 2010. Your Committee believes that extending the lapse date until June 30, 2012, will allow the University of Hawaii to continue to improve and maintain its student housing.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective to June 29, 2010, to ensure that the measure takes effect prior to the lapse date of June 30, 2010, in Act 138, Session Laws of Hawaii 2005.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2649, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2649, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
