Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2019

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. 1188, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION TO THE HAWAII COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY,"

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 make an emergency appropriation to address a shortfall in funding for payroll, fringe benefits, and administrative costs of the Hawaii Community Development Authority for fiscal year 2018-2019.

Your Committee on Conference finds that Act 49, section 3, Session Laws of Hawaii 2017, appropriated funds to the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism for payroll and administrative costs for the Hawaii Community Development Authority. However, that appropriation did not include funds for fringe benefit costs. Your Committee on Conference further finds that this measure will appropriate necessary funds to compensate for the shortfall, thus ensuring that the Hawaii Community Development Authority has the funding necessary to operate through the end of fiscal year 2018-2019.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the appropriation from an unspecified amount to $600,000 from the Hawaii community development revolving fund to the Hawaii Community Development Authority for fiscal year 2018-2019 for payroll, fringe benefits, and administrative costs of the Hawaii Community Development Authority; and

(2) Changing the effective date to upon approval.

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. 1188, 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. 1188, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
