Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: H.B. No. 415
H.D. 2
S.D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Health and Human Services and Transportation and Culture and the Arts, to which was referred H.B. No. 415, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO IMPLEMENT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TASK FORCE ON MOBILITY MANAGEMENT, ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO ACT 214, SESSION LAWS OF HAWAII 2013,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate funds to the Department of Health to implement the recommendations of the Task Force on Mobility Management established pursuant to Act 214, Session Laws of Hawaii 2013 (Act 214).
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the State Council on Developmental Disabilities, Disability and Communication Access Board, AARP Hawai‘i, Hawaii Disability Rights Center, Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization, National Federation of the Blind of Hawaii, Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization, and five individuals. Your Committees received comments on this measure from the Department of Transportation.
Your Committees
acknowledge concerns raised in testimony stating that the Department of
Transportation, whose purview includes the planning and designing of various
transportation modes in the State in coordination with other government agencies,
is better suited to implement the recommendations of the Task Force on Mobility Management. Amendments to this measure are
therefore necessary to address this concern.
Accordingly, your Committees have amended this measure
by:
(2) Amending section 1 to reflect its amended purpose;
(3) Making it effective upon its approval; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments
for the purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Health and Human Services and Transportation and Culture and the Arts that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 415, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 415, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Health and Human Services and Transportation and Culture and the Arts,
