STAND. COM. REP. NO. 730

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.B. No. 100

       S.D. 1

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 100, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO APPROPRIATIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to correct a statement in part IV of Act 134, Session Laws of Hawaii 2014, relating to the appropriation for a study on joint investment information and service sharing by the Employees' Retirement System and Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund.

     Specifically, the purpose section of Act 134 mistakenly noted that the appropriation for the study was being repealed.  However, the operative provisions of Act 134 only reduced the appropriation.  This measure makes a correction to the purpose section of Act 134 to appropriately describe the intent of that Act.

     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. 100, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
