Sirs:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 809, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE FUNDING OF GRANTS PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 42F, HAWAII REVISED STATUTES,"

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 assist Hawaii's private organizations to provide essential and impactful services to residents and communities by appropriating funds for operating and capital improvement grants.

Your Committee on Conference recognizes the great need in the State for services provided by non-governmental groups and nonprofit agencies and has thus provided general obligation bond funds in fiscal biennium 2019-2021 to help aid these organizations in better serving the community.

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 H.B. No. 809, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 809, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
