Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

State of Hawaii

Sirs:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2051, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to permit individual Department of Education schools and career pathways, academies, or programs operated within a Department of Education school to engage in commercial enterprises, including the sale of goods produced by or for an individual school, career pathway, academy, or program.

Your Committee on Conference finds that, in preparation for entering the workforce, it is essential that career development is incorporated into education. Career and technical education programs in public schools support hands-on learning experiences for students and provide students an opportunity to apply content skills and knowledge in entrepreneurial and relevant ways. Allowing public school career development programs to market products and services and deposit funds back into the program will help keep these programs sustainable, while providing students with valuable opportunities.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2018.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2051, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2051, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
