Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 91 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to amend the law relating to the University of Hawaii.

     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 deleting its contents and replacing it with language to remove the Special Funds of the University of Hawaii and the Hawaii Cancer Research Special Fund from the list of special funds that are exempt from the requirement to reimburse the Department of Budget and Finance for expenses incurred from administering the funds.

     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 Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 91, as amended herein, and recommends that it be recommitted to your Committee on Higher Education, in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 91, S.D. 1, for further consideration.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education,
