Honorable Donna Mercado Kim
President of the Senate
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2014
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 3093 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT HILO,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate funds to the University of Hawaii at Hilo to establish staff positions within the 'Imiloa Astronomy Center and to support its memorandum of understanding with the Revealing Individual Strengths for Excellence (RISE) 21st Century After School Program.
Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from a member of the Hawaii County Council.
Your Committee finds that RISE is a program that helps underprivileged children of Hawaiian ancestry in developing life skills, achieving academic success, and setting career goals. This measure will provide funding and positions at the 'Imiloa Astronomy Center of the University of Hawaii at Hilo to support the University of Hawaii at Hilo's memorandum of understanding with the RISE 21st Century After School Program.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the appropriation for the University of Hawaii at Hilo from $315,000 to an unspecified sum;
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure; and
(3) Making technical nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3093, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3093, S.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
