STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2797

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.B. No. 2568

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Education and Housing and Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 2568 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE HAWAII PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to reduce the quorum requirement for the Board of Directors of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by two state agencies.  Written testimony presented to the Committees may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     This measure aligns the quorum requirement of the Board of Directors of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority with the quorum requirements of other state boards that require only a majority of all members to which the board is entitled.  Your Committees find that the Board's current quorum requirement becomes especially problematic near the end of meetings when a member needs to leave, hampering the Board's ability to take action.  Amending the quorum requirement allows the Board to conduct its business in a timelier manner.

 

     Your Committees have amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive changes for the purposes of clarity and style.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Education and Housing and Human Services that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2568, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2568, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Education and Housing and Human Services,
