Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1277 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE III, SECTION 16, OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF HAWAII, TO PROVIDE THE LEGISLATURE WITH THE POWER TO RECALL A BILL PRESENTED TO THE GOVERNOR,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to provide a mechanism for the legislature to recall a bill that has been sent to the Governor for consideration.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Clerk of the House of Representatives.

Your Committee finds this measure will remove any doubt as to the authority of the Governor to return a measure to the Legislature for corrective action.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1277 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

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