RE:   H.B. No. 13

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 13 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETINGS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to afford the Board of Education (BOE) more flexibility in carrying out its responsibilities by allowing BOE to file any notice that specifies legislation or legislation-related agenda items, no fewer than two calendar days before a meeting during the legislative session or any special session of the legislature.

 

     BOE testified in support of this bill.  The Office of Information Practices offered comments.

 

     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. 13 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

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