STAND. COM. REP. NO. 435
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2013
RE: H.B. No. 591
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2013
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 591 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for the Safe Routes to School Program.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Removing provisions which would have explicitly allowed moneys on balance in the Safe Routes to School Program Special Fund at the close of each fiscal year to remain in the Fund, rather than lapsing to the general fund;
(2) Deleting language appropriating funds out of the Safe Routes to School Program Special Fund;
(3) Inserting language stipulating that the fees deposited for each fiscal year into the Safe Routes to School Special Fund, when appropriated, shall be available to the Department of Transportation to administer the Safe Routes to School Program;
(4) Inserting language stipulating that when appropriated, funds may also be delegated by the Director of Transportation to the respective counties to expend for the purposes of the Act that established the Safe Routes to School Program; and
(5) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for style, clarity, and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 591, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 591, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
