RE: H.B. No. 2123
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2022
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 2123 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS IN DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION SCHOOLS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Include commercial enterprises in profit-making operations that students may engage in at schools;
(2) Clarify that profits from agricultural, industrial, and commercial enterprise pursuits can be used to support the agricultural, industrial, and commercial enterprise programs directly; and
(3) Allow students to receive school credit and compensation when engaging in profit-making operations.
Your Committee finds that this measure will enhance the rigor and relevance of work-based learning throughout the pre-school through higher education continuum, will give students the opportunity to engage in comprehensive, real-world immersive experiences, particularly in the areas of entrepreneurship and strategic commercial enterprise, and allow profits made from agricultural, industrial, and commercial enterprise activity to directly support the programs.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2050; 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 Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2123, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2123, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
