RE: H.B. No. 2578

H.D. 1

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 2578 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR COMMUNITY SERVICES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to improve the efficiency of government by abolishing the Advisory Council for Community Services.

The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations and Office of Community Services of the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations testified in support of this measure.

The Advisory Council for Community Services has, in effect, been defunct for over a decade. Currently, no members have been appointed to the Council. Your Committee finds that eliminating this unnecessary policy body is prudent at this time.

Your Committee has amended this bill by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2578, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2578, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Human Services.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,

____________________________
