STAND. COM. REP. NO.  83

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2007

 

RE:   H.B. No. 896

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.B. No. 896 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE LEGISLATIVE BROADCAST PROGRAM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to simplify video broadcasts of legislative proceedings by appropriating an unspecified sum to wire all state capitol conference rooms used for public hearings, the capitol auditorium, and both legislative chambers.

 

     Olelo Community Television and The League of Women Voters testified in support of this bill.

 

     Permanent wiring would enhance production appearance and create a safer environment by eliminating temporary wires that can obstruct legislators, testifiers, and visitors.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 896 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
