STAND. COM. REP. NO. 42

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2005

RE: S.B. No. 1249

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Education and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1249 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to repeal the Hawaii school-to-work executive council.

Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by the Department of Education.

Your Committee finds that all remaining funds allocated to the Hawaii school-to-work program had been expended as of September 30, 2003 as federal funding had ended in the year 2000. Therefore, the need for the statute no longer exists. Due to its valuable initiatives, the program's components are established with other public and private entities including the Department of Education, the Workforce Development Council, and the Hawaii P-20 Initiative.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1249 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education and Military Affairs,
