Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 650, H.D. 1, entitled:

     The purpose of this measure is to propose an amendment to the Hawaii State Constitution to authorize the Chief Justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court to appoint judges who have retired upon attaining the age of seventy years to serve as temporary judges in courts no higher than the level they reached prior to retirement and for terms not to exceed three months per appointment.

 

     The Judiciary testified in support of this measure.

 

     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 S.B. No. 650, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
