STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2148

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2135

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Public Safety and Military Affairs and Education and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 2135 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII NATIONAL GUARD,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to establish within the Department of Defense the permanent, full-time position of school liaison officer and to make an appropriation to fund that position.

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from one government entity and one private entity.  Testimony in opposition was received from one government entity.  Written testimony presented to the Committees may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     The purpose of the school liaison officer is to interact between the Hawaii National Guard and the Department of Education.  The education of military children is a top quality of life issue that is addressed by every branch of the United States military, which has established similar school liaison officer positions at all of their commands.

 

     Your Committees have amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Public Safety and Military Affairs and Education and Housing that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2135, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2135, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Public Safety and Military Affairs and Education and Housing,
