Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.B. No. 2137

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2014

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 2137 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE TERMS OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to clarify the maximum number of consecutive terms that members of the Board of Education may serve.

     Your Committee did not receive any testimony on this measure.

     Your Committee finds that this measure clarifies that the terms of the members of the Board of Education are governed by section 302A-123, Hawaii Revised Statues (HRS), rather than section 26-34, HRS.

     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 S.B. No. 2137 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

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

____________________________
