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. 3095 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR A MAINTENANCE BASE YARD,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the issuance of general obligation bonds and to appropriate the funds derived therefrom for fiscal year 2021-2022 for a Department of Education maintenance base yard.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Education.

Your Committee finds that the maintenance base yard funded by this measure will allow the Department of Education to provide maintenance services more efficiently and to allocate storage space for other departments.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the amount of general obligation bonds authorized and moneys appropriated to an unspecified sum;

(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure; and

(3) Making technical nonsubstantive changes for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

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. 3095, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3095, S.D. 1.

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