Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 118

S.D. 1

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 118 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STATE BUDGET,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to amend the law relating to the state budget.

Prior to the hearing on this measure, your Committee posted and made available for public review a proposed S.D. 1, which amends this measure by replacing its contents with language that repeals provisions that exempt certain special funds from the requirement that each special fund pay a pro rata share of the administrative expenses incurred by the department responsible for operations supported by that special fund.

Your Committee has amended this measure by adopting the proposed S.D. 1.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 118, as amended herein, and recommends that it be recommitted to your Committee on Ways and Means, in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 118, S.D. 1, for further consideration.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
