STAND. COM. REP. 2944

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2004

RE: H.B. No. 1926

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 1926 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to make technical conforming amendments to the interstate agreement on qualifications of educational personnel.

Your Committee received testimony in support of the measure from the Department of Education.

Your Committee finds that this measure reflects the fact that, since the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board has assumed responsibility for the licensure and certification of teachers, they are now the responsible party within the State for matters relating to interstate licensure reciprocity.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1926, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.

 

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

____________________________
