Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2016

 

RE:   S.B. No. 3102

      S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2016

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Development & Business, to which was referred S.B. No. 3102, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to improve government efficiency by requiring the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism to develop, and state agencies to implement, inter-agency agreements without entering into a memorandum of agreement or memorandum of understanding.

 

     The Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism testified in support of this measure.

 

     Inter-agency agreements provide agencies with an opportunity to coordinate resources and eliminate duplication, without entering into a formal memorandum of agreement or memorandum of understanding.  Your Committee finds that this measure will provide for a uniform and expedited agreement process and would streamline and expedite agreements between state agencies, thereby improving government efficiency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development & Business that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3102, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development & Business,
