TWENTY-THIRD LEGISLATURE, 2005

H.D. 2

STATE OF HAWAII

S.D. 1


 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

RELATING TO higher education.

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Act 226, Session Laws of Hawaii 2004, established the higher education statutory analysis interim study group and required the study group to suggest an improved organizational framework for statutes relating to higher education and the University of Hawaii, recommending statutes for consolidation, amendment, or repeal. The Act further required the study group to submit its findings and recommendations, including proposed legislation, to the legislature no later than twenty days before the convening of the regular session of 2005.

The study group was co-chaired by:

(1) Representative K. Mark Takai, chair of the house committee on higher education; and

(2) Senator Norman Sakamoto, chair of the senate committee on education.

The study group was composed of the following persons, who were jointly appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives and the president of the senate:

(1) Patricia Lee, chair, board of regents of the University of Hawaii;

(2) David McClain, acting president, University of Hawaii;

(3) Professor Floyd McCoy, faculty member, all campus council of faculty senate chairs, University of Hawaii;

(4) Professor Robert Bley-Vroman, faculty member, University of Hawaii at Manoa faculty senate;

(5) Kristopher Kaupalolo, student, University of Hawaii student caucus and graduate student organization;

(6) Andrew Ogata, student, University of Hawaii student caucus;

(7) Walter Kirimitsu, general counsel, University of Hawaii;

(8) David Morihara, director of government relations, University of Hawaii;

(9) Mark Rosen, director, senate majority research office; and

(10) Linda Oamilda, director, house majority staff office.

The legislature further finds that, upon its formation, the study group met over the interim to review and analyze statutes that the group identified as being relevant to the recodification process. The study group found that several sections and chapters of the Hawaii Revised Statutes relating to higher education and the University of Hawaii were in need of reorganization and recodification.

The purpose of this Act is to implement the study group's legislative proposals for improving the organizational framework of the relevant statutes. Specifically, this Act updates and clarifies those statutory provisions through the processes of consolidation, amendment, and repeal, to provide consistency and clarity.

The two tables below outline the improved organizational framework of the relevant statutes. The first table is a table of contents of the University of Hawaii statutes, as recodified. The first column shows the new, recodified section numbers in consecutive numerical order. The second column shows the statutory sources from which the new sections were derived, specifically, the original section numbers. The second table, the table of derivation, switches the approach of the first table. The first column shows the original section numbers in consecutive numerical order. The second column shows the new, recodified section numbers. The table of derivation also indicates areas in the original sections where language was originally added, amended, or repealed by the study group in its proposed recodification, aside from grammatical or stylistic changes.

The tables, as well as the text of this Act, have been updated to reflect the acts from the regular session of 2005.
