STAND. COM. REP. NO. 81

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2023

RE: H.B. No. 93

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. 93 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ORGANIZATIONAL REPORTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to require the Campaign Spending Commission to publish on its website the names of candidates and noncandidate committees who fail to file an organizational report or a corrected organizational report with the Campaign Spending Commission.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Campaign Spending Commission, Commission to Improve Standards of Conduct, and one individual.

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 improve compliance with filing requirements and also bring awareness of noncompliance to the public.

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. 93 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,

____________________________
