RE: H.B. No. 91
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 91 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ORDERS OF THE CAMPAIGN SPENDING COMMISSION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Deem the right to a contested case hearing waived if the person fails to request a contested case hearing within twenty days of receipt of the Campaign Spending Commission's preliminary hearing; and
(2) Allow the Campaign Spending Commission to file its order in the First Circuit Court for confirmation as a civil judgment, enforceable and collectible as any other judgment issued by the circuit courts.
Your Committee finds that this measure implements one of the recommendations made by the Commission to Improve Standards of Conduct established by the House of Representatives in House Resolution No. 9, Regular Session of 2022. This measure would strengthen the Campaign Spending Commission's ability to resolve certain matters and enforce campaign spending laws.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Correcting a statutory reference; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 91, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 91, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
