Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2025

State of Hawaii

Madame:

Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 1069 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to add two voting members that represent the Department of Education and Board of Education to the School Facilities Board.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Board of Education and Department of Education. Your Committee received comments on this measure from the School Facilities Authority.

Your Committee finds that adding two voting members that represent the Department of Education and Board of Education to the School Facilities Board is necessary to ensure that the planning and development of school facilities in Hawaii by the School Facilities Authority are closely aligned with the educational goals and priorities of the State's public education system.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 3000; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1069, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1069, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.

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