RE: H.B. No. 2090
H.D. 2
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirtieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2020
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2090, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to make the Innovation and Commercialization Initiative Program permanent.
Your Committee finds that Act 39,
Session Laws of Hawaii 2017 (Act 39), established the Innovation and
Commercialization Initiative Program within the University of Hawaii to enable
and facilitate the deployment of university educational and instructional
resources, university managerial and fiscal resources, and university personnel
to promote the economic health and diversification of workforce opportunities
in the State through the commercialization of inventions and discoveries
generated by or at the University. Your
Committee further finds that Act 39, is set to be repealed on June 30,
2021. Your Committee recognizes the
importance of the Innovation and Commercialization Initiative Program and
believes that it should be a permanent program.
Your Committee has amended this
measure by making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of
clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2090, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2090, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
