RE:   S.B. No. 1112

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 1112 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DELETING STATE PUBLIC HOUSING DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to provide consistency across Hawaii Public Housing Authority program administration and facilitate accounts collections managing delinquent state low-income public housing accounts in the same way as delinquent federal low-income public housing accounts by authorizing the Authority to delete accounts delinquent for at least ninety days and assign them to a collection agency.

The Hawaii Public Housing Authority testified in support of this measure.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1112 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

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