                     HOUSE CONCURRENT
                        RESOLUTION
REQUESTING THE LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU TO MAKE AVAILABLE ON-
   LINE, ALL REPORTS REQUESTED BY THE LEGISLATURE BY BILL OR
   RESOLUTION.



 1       WHEREAS, each year, various state departments, agencies,
 2   and other entities are mandated or requested to submit progress
 3   reports, which include findings, recommendations, and proposed
 4   legislation, to the Legislature; and
 5   
 6       WHEREAS, these requirements and requests are the result of
 7   bills that are passed, or resolutions that are adopted, by
 8   either or both houses of the Legislature; and
 9   
10       WHEREAS, these "follow-up" reports to the Legislature are
11   numerous and are distributed in hard copy to the various
12   entities for their review; and
13   
14       WHEREAS, while the various departments, agencies, and
15   officials receive hard copies of these reports, accessing these
16   reports for future reference can be unwieldy and time-
17   consuming; and
18   
19       WHEREAS, one way to make these reports more easily
20   accessible is to centralize these reports on-line, which will
21   thereby help to minimize costs, improve accessibility, and
22   streamline the organization of these reports; now, therefore,
23   
24       BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the
25   Twentieth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session
26   of 1999, the Senate concurring, that the Legislative Reference
27   Bureau is requested to make available on-line, all reports
28   requested by the Legislature by bill or resolution; and
29   
30       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislative Reference
31   Bureau is requested to submit a report of the actions taken
32   pursuant to this Concurrent Resolution to the Legislature no
33   later than twenty days before the convening of the Regular
34   Session of 2000; and
