Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1506 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR ISPED CLERK TYPISTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to enable special education teachers to devote more time to their students by appropriating funds to the Department of Education (DOE) for ISPED clerk typist positions.

The Hawaii State Teachers Association, Hawaii Government Employees' Association, and a concerned individual testified in support of this measure. DOE supported the intent of this measure.

Your Committee has amended this bill by:

(1) Changing the term "clerk typist" to "educational support personnel";

(2) Reducing the appropriation amount to $1 to promote further discussion; and

(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, conformity, 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. 1506, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1506, H.D. 1.

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