Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fourth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2008
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred S.B. No. 2826, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PROCUREMENT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to improve the training of government procurement officials by:
(1) Transferring from the Department of Human Resources Development (DHRD) to the State Procurement Office (SPO), the responsibility of developing and maintaining a training and development program (Program) for state and county procurement officers; and
(2) Making the Program mandatory for state procurement officers, as determined by SPO.
DHRD supported the intent of this bill. The Department of Accounting and General Services opposed this measure. SPO provided comments.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2826, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
