RE: H.B. No. 1457
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2011
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1457 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HIGHER EDUCATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to ensure that state funds are being used in a fiscally responsible manner by:
(1) Requiring the University of Hawaii (UH) to annually report to the Director of Finance on the number of students who have sufficient credits to graduate, but have not graduated and the additional cost to UH attributable to each of these students; and
(2) Requiring the Director of Finance to assess UH for the corresponding additional cost to the State.
UH opposed this bill.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2030, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1457, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1457, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
