STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2922

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2740

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2740, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR CLAIMS AGAINST THE STATE, ITS OFFICERS, OR ITS EMPLOYEES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to make an appropriation to satisfy several claims against the State, its officers, or its employees.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of the Attorney General and one individual.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure requests a total of $870,000 in appropriations from the general fund to satisfy six claims against the State and a total of $1,389,312.84 from the state highway fund to satisfy three claims against the State.  The grand total for the nine claims settled in this measure as received by your Committee is $2,259,312.84.  Timely passage of this measure will minimize the State's obligation to pay interest on those amounts.

 

     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. 2740, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

 

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