STAND. COM. REP. NO. 244

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 1018

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2017

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation and Energy, to which was referred S.B. No. 1018 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, AIRPORTS DIVISION, PROJECT ADJUSTMENT FUND,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to add a budget proviso to the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2016, Act 124, Session Laws of Hawaii 2016, item C-38.02, to add a budget proviso that permits the utilization of the department of transportation, airports division, project adjustment fund.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation.  Your Committee received testimony in opposition to this measure from one individual.

 

     Your Committee finds that the budget proviso relating to the Department of Transportation, Airports Division, project adjustment fund is necessary to authorize the Governor to make supplemental allotments from the project adjustment fund to supplement any currently authorized capital investment cost elements for Airports Division capital improvement projects.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation and Energy that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1018, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1018, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation and Energy,
