Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 572, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The

(2) Make the Administrator of Hawaii Emergency Management Agency the Director of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency and require the Administrator to report directly to the Governor; and
(3) Require the Governor,
rather than the Director of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, to appoint

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 572, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
