RE:   H.B. No. 2512

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 2512 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to help lower printing, workload, and delivery costs associated with government publications by reducing the number of copies required to be deposited with the State Publications Distribution Center and requiring that every state and county agency notify the Center when electronic publications are made available.

The Hawaii State Public Library System supported this measure.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2512 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

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