STAND. COM. REP. NO. 275

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2021

RE: H.B. No. 64

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 64 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO NON-GENERAL FUNDS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to abolish, repeal, or reclassify various non-general funds of the Department of Transportation.

Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Department of Transportation, Department of Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu, Tax Foundation of Hawaii, and Airlines for America.

Your Committee finds that existing law requires the Auditor to review each state department's special, revolving, and trust funds every five years. The Auditor's Report No. 19-05 recommended that certain non-general funds be reclassified or repealed to achieve greater fiscal accountability in the Department of Transportation. This measure would attempt to do so by adopting the Auditor's recommendations and abolish, repeal, or reclassify various non-general funds within the Department of Transportation.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 64 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
