STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2891
Honolulu, Hawaii
S.D. 2
President of the Senate
Twenty-Ninth State Legislature
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2329, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TUITION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to increase enrollment at the University of Hawaii by capping tuition increases based on the change in the State's median household income.
Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the OCC Legislative Priorities Committee, Democratic Party of Hawaii.
Your Committee received written comments from the University of Hawaii and Associated Students of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Your Committee finds that increased enrollment and affordable tuition are issues of statewide concern, and that capping the University of Hawaii tuition increases will improve student enrollment, keep budgetary pace with increased salaries and other costs, and promote a more educated population.
Your Committee has amended this
measure by making a technical nonsubstantive change for the purpose of 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. 2329, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2329, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
