STAND. COM. REP. NO. 61-06

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2006

RE: H.B. No. 2447

H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2447 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO THE HAWAII CIVIL AIR PATROL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds for the Hawaii Civil Air Patrol.

The Civil Air Patrol and several concerned citizens testified in support of this measure.

Your Committee finds that the value of the Civil Air Patrol's all-volunteer emergency services to the State has been demonstrated repeatedly over the years. Funding will allow the organization to significantly increase tsunami warning and search and rescue training for its aircrews, enabling the Civil Air Patrol to increase its aircraft utilization and helping Hawaii Wing retain its current fleet of nine aircraft.

Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical nonsubstantive amendments for the purpose of style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2447, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2447, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs,
