Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.B. No. 358 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO VIDEOCONFERENCING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to require both chambers of the Legislature to permit neighbor island residents to present testimony through audiovisual technology, including by  appropriating funds to establish audiovisual systems throughout the State.

 

     Americans for Democratic Action/Hawaii and a few individuals testified in support of this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 358 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
