                                 RE: H.B. No. 2062
                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred
H.B. No. 2062 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HIGHER EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to allow the University of
Hawaii to carry over funds from one year to the next and to use
the funds to supplement the appropriations to other university
programs.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by specifying that
carry over funding shall not be subject to executive restriction
or be used as basis for restricting other appropriations to the
university.  Your Committee has also amended this measure by
making technical nonsubstantive amendments for the purpose of
clarity and style.

     Your Committee finds that the measure as amended will
facilitate better operational expenditure planning and result in
more effective and efficient expenditures of allotted public
funds.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report,
your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B.
