Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Agriculture and Higher Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 1273 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO APPROPRIATIONS,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to appropriate $500,000 for fiscal year 2011-2012 and fiscal year 2012-2013 for the University of Hawaii (UH) College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (UHCTAHR) Cooperative Extension Service. 

 

     UHCTAHR and the Hawaii Crop Improvement Association supported this bill.  The Department of Agriculture supported the intent of this measure.

 

     Your Committees note that UHCTAHR supported this appropriation as long it does not adversely impact the budgetary priorities of UH.  In addition, UHCTAHR was requested to provide your Committees with more specific information on how it is funded, including details such as the budgetary program ID under which it falls.

 

     Your Committees have amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Changing the appropriation amount to an unspecified amount; and

 

     (2)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2069, to encourage further discussion.

 

Technical, nonsubstantive amendments were also made for style, clarity, and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Agriculture and Higher Education that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1273, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1273, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Agriculture and Higher Education,
