STAND. COM. REP. NO. 589

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 242

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 242 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to increase government efficiency by repealing certain reporting requirements for the University of Hawaii and requiring the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education Commission to report to the Legislature only every odd-numbered year, rather than annually.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from Linda K. Johnsrud, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, University of Hawaii System.

 

     Your Committee finds that the University of Hawaii is required to make unnecessary, duplicative reports to the Legislature.  This measure repeals outdated reporting requirements.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the issue.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 242, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 242, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
