H.D. 2

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 592, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE SALARY OF THE STATE LIBRARIAN,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to amend the cap on the State Librarian's salary from a specific statutory dollar cap to a percentage of the salary of the Superintendent of Education.

The Board of Education submitted testimony in support of this measure.

Your Committee has amended this measure by capping the State Librarian's salary at an unspecified statutory dollar amount, instead of making the cap a percentage of the salary of the Superintendent of Education.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 592, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 592, S.D. 1, H.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
