RE: H.B. No. 416
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Ninth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2017
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.B. No. 416 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE LEGISLATIVE BROADCAST PROGRAM,"
begs leave to report as follows:
(1) Requiring the Program to make an audio or audiovisual recording of all public hearings and informational briefings held at the State Capitol, and maintain an archive of the recordings to be made available to the public; and
(2) Appropriating funds to the Legislative Reference Bureau for the increased responsibilities of the Program.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Clarifying that the Program shall, to the extent possible within available resources, make an audio or audiovisual recording of public hearings and informational briefings rather than all public hearings and informational briefings at the State Capitol;
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2088, to encourage further discussion; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for consistency, clarity, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 416, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 416, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
