STAND. COM. REP. NO.  237-12

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2012

RE:   H.B. No. 2476

      H.D. 1

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2476 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR CLAIMS AGAINST THE STATE, ITS OFFICERS, OR ITS EMPLOYEES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to make appropriations for claims against the State or its officers or employees.

The Department of the Attorney General testified in support of this measure.

     Based on written testimony submitted by the Department of the Attorney General and consultation between the Department and your Committee, it was determined that one claim, Segundo v. Frederick, et al., Civil No. 08-1-0106, Third Circuit, in the amount of $328,250.00, was duplicative and should be omitted from this measure.

     Accordingly, your Committee has amended this measure by:

     (1)  Deleting from this bill the Department of Health's Claim against the general fund in the amount of $328,250.00 concerning Segundo v. Frederick, et al., Civil No. 08-1-0106, Third Circuit; 

     (2)  Adjusting dollar amounts according to the above deletion; and

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2476, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2476, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
