Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sirs:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 3280, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF SPECIAL PURPOSE REVENUE BONDS TO ASSIST SAINT JOSEPH SCHOOL,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to authorize the issuance of special purpose revenue bonds to assist Saint Joseph School in planning, designing, constructing, reconstructing, renovating, acquiring, equipping, and improving educational facilities.

Your Committee on Conference finds that Saint Joseph School is the only parochial school on the island of Hawaii and that enrollment at the school has increased. Your Committee on Conference further finds that several improvements to the campus are underway. However, additional funding is necessary to help construct a multi-purpose gymnasium to replace the school's existing, outdated facility. Accordingly, this measure promotes the public interest and will help Saint Joseph School build a stronger learning environment for students and the surrounding county by authorizing the issuance of special purpose revenue bonds.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

(1) Inserting a $4,000,000 bond ceiling amount; and

(2) Inserting an effective date of July 1, 2022.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3280, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3280, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
