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. 9, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to expand the E-academy Program within the Department of Education (DOE).

The University of Hawaii supported this bill. DOE and the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism supported the intent of this bill.

Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this bill by deleting its contents and replacing them with the substance of S.B. No. 1292. As amended, this bill streamlines the New Technology Scholar Program established in 2000 by deleting onerous requirements that hindered its implementation.

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. 9, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance, in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 9, H.D. 2.

 

 

 

 

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