RE: S.B. No. 84

S.D. 2

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 84, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate funds for a Board of Education Analyst II position.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Board of Education and Oahu County Committee on Legislative Priorities of the Democratic Party of Hawaii.

Your Committee finds that appropriating funds for a Board of Education Analyst II position to perform evaluative work and data analysis will help to support the Board of Education in meeting its current and planned duties and initiatives, which have expanded over the past several years.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure; and

(2) Making technical nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 84, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 84, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
