STAND. COM. REP. 2832

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2004

RE: S.B. No. 2072

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2072 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE CENTER FOR NURSING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to place the administration of the center for nursing special fund under the University of Hawaii.

Your Committee finds that the Center for Nursing is established within the University of Hawaii's School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene. However, the center for nursing special fund is established in the treasury of the State and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University of Hawaii. No other special funds of the University of Hawaii are established in the state treasury or administered by the Board of Regents.

Your Committee finds that this measure, by removing the special fund from the state treasury and putting it under the direct administration of the University of Hawaii, will facilitate the transfer and expenditure of funds to conduct the activities of the Center for Nursing.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2072 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
