RE:   H.B. No. 2274

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, to which was referred H.B. No. 2274 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE WIRELESS ENHANCED 911 FUND,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to ensure full disclosure and accountability on the use of funds collected to provide for wireless enhanced 911 services by requiring:

 

(1)  An annual independent audit of the Wireless Enhanced 911 Fund;

 

(2)  That the audit include information on the status of projects undertaken or planned by public safety answering points, including available funding; and

 

(3)  The results of the audit to be included in an annual report to the Legislature by the Wireless Enhanced 911 Board.

 

The Department of Accounting and General Services opposed this bill.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2274 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety,
