       S.D. 1

       H.D. 1

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam and Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2400, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FUNDS,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this measure is to make emergency appropriations to support the functions of the Office of Elections and the Elections Commission.

 

     More specifically, this measure appropriates out of the general revenues of the State:

 

     (1)  The sum of $250,000 to support the functions of the Office of Elections and the Elections Commission in the 2010 regular elections; and

 

     (2)  The sum of $140,000 to allow the Office of Elections to reimburse the City and County of Honolulu for providing technical support services for the 2010 special election.

 

     Your Committee on Conference finds that the appropriations made in this measure are necessary to address budget shortfalls to fund operations critical to conducting the May 22, 2010 special election to fill the vacancy in the First Congressional District and the 2010 primary and general elections.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by clarifying that the appropriation to support the functions of the Office of Elections and the Elections Commission in the 2010 regular elections is for fiscal year 2009-2010.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2400, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2400, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
