Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1551 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE COMMISSION TO PROMOTE UNIFORM LEGISLATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to provide a limited exemption from certain requirements of the State's open meetings law for commissioners of the Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation to attend and fully participate in meetings hosted by the Uniform Law Commission, without any limitation on the number of participating commissioners.
Your Committee finds that this measure will enable commissioners of the Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation to perform their duties as the Hawaii delegation to the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, including selecting, drafting, considering, and amending various legislation to be adopted as uniform laws.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to January 1, 2222, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1551, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1551, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
