Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Government Reform, to which was referred H.B. No. 1424 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CANDIDATE COMMITTEE AND NONCANDIDATE COMMITTEE ORGANIZATIONAL REPORTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to repeal certain cross-references in the campaign spending law that refer to language that was previously repealed.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Campaign Spending Commission.

Your Committee finds that this bill is a housekeeping measure that will repeal references to provisions in the Hawaii Revised Statutes that were repealed in 2018.

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 Government Reform that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1424, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1424, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Government Reform,
