RE: S.B. No. 2834

S.D. 2

 

 

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. 2834, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR CLAIMS AGAINST THE STATE, ITS OFFICERS, OR ITS EMPLOYEES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds to satisfy claims for legislative relief, judgments against the State, settlements, and miscellaneous claims.

Your Committee finds that this measure contains twenty-nine claims that total $6,399,988.10. Your Committee believes that these appropriations are necessary to satisfy claims for legislative relief, judgments against the State, settlements, and miscellaneous claims.

Your Committee has amended the measure by:

(1) Changing the fiscal year of the legislative appropriation from which the Hawaii Tourism Authority v. Pacific Motivation Advisors, Inc., et al settlement (section 5 of the measure) is to be paid from fiscal year 2004-2005 to fiscal year 2003-2004; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and style.

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. 2834, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2834, S.D. 2.

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