Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 159 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CHARTER SCHOOLS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to assist charter schools with the cost of facilities and facilities maintenance by establishing a funding formula for charter school facilities by which the Department of Education (DOE) must allocate funding.
The Hawaii Charter Schools Network, Kamehameha Schools, Hawaii Technology Academy, and several concerned individuals supported this bill. DOE, the Charter School Administrative Office, and Hookakoo Corporation provided comments.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2030, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 159, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 159, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
