Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 1563 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to establish a full-time auditor position in the Board of Education (BOE) office.

BOE testified in support of this bill.

Your Committee finds that establishing a full-time auditor within BOE will allow BOE to take a more active role in monitoring the Department of Education.

Your Committee has amended this bill by changing the appropriation amounts to $1 for the purpose of continued discussion.

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. 1563, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1563, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

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