The DOE, Board of Education, and Hawaii Business Roundtable testified in support of this measure.

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. 1860 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
