Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1079, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DEFERRED MAINTENANCE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to establish and fund an Asset Management Task Force within the Office of the Lieutenant Governor to create a standardized schedule for repairing and maintaining state-owned facilities.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Judiciary and Department of Education.

Your Committee finds that the State would benefit from a centralized system to identify and manage maintenance and repair projects.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure; and

(2) Making technical nonsubstantive changes for purposes of clarity, consistency, and 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. 1079, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1079, S.D. 2.

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