RE: H.C.R. No. 8
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.C.R. No. 8 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE COUNTY GOVERNMENTS TO REVIEW THEIR RESPECTIVE GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE TO IDENTIFY ORGANIZATIONAL RISKS OF CORRUPTION AND ETHICAL VIOLATIONS AND TO DEVELOP SYSTEMATIC IMPROVEMENTS TO SUCH RISKS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge the County Governments to review their respective government structure to identify organizational risks of corruption and ethical violations and to develop systematic improvements to such risks.
Your Committee finds that in order to implement the recommendations of the Commission to Improve Standards of Conduct, a review of each county's government structure, including identifying problems and developing systematic improvements that will prevent future situations involving corruption and ethical violations, is needed to help restore the public's trust in government.
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 concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 8 and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
