Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2007

 

RE:   H.B. No. 122

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 122 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STATE FUNDS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to require full disclosure of all entities and organizations receiving state funds by requiring the Department of Budget and Finance (B&F) to create a website containing such information.

 

     B&F opposed this bill.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Applying the online disclosure to state "awards" rather than "funding";

 

     (2)  Adding an appropriation for the establishment of the website; and

 

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 


     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 122, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 122, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

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