RE: H.B. No. 22
H.D. 2
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 22, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATED TO CAMPAIGN FINANCE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to amend the fines assessed:
(1) Against noncandidate committees for violations of organizational report requirements; and
(2) For violations of advertisement notice requirements.
Your Committee finds that this measure improves accountability in the conduct of noncandidate committees during election campaigns.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Deleting language that would have amended the maximum fine for campaign advertisements that are broadcast, televised, circulated, published, distributed, or otherwise communicated without the proper information; 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. 22, 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. 22, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
