RE:   H.B. No. 1380

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 1380 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to help increase access for Hawaii residents who are students to educational and civic opportunities by appropriating $200,000 in general revenues for each fiscal year of fiscal biennium 2013-2015, for the University of Hawaii to implement a scholarship program, with specified requirements, in partnership with the Washington Center.

 

     The Student Equity Excellence and Diversity Office of the University of Hawaii at Manoa and a concerned individual supported this measure.  The University of Hawaii provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Allowing appropriated monies to be used for other programs, in addition to a scholarship program, that may be implemented in partnership with the Washington Center; and

 

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

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1380, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1380, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education,
