RE:    S.B. No. 586

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 586, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for the staffing and operating expenses of the Office of the Legislative Analyst, which was established in 1990.

 

     No written comments were submitted on this measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that the Office of the Legislative Analyst was created through Act 347, Session Laws of Hawaii 1990, and codified as section 21F-6, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

 

Your Committee also finds that staffing this office will provide the Legislature with the necessary revenue and expenditure data and analysis from which economic and fiscal policies are developed.

 

     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. 586, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

 

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