Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Revitalization & Business, to which was referred H.B. No. 374 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SMALL BUSINESS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to include the small purchase method of procurement within the scope of Hawaii Compliance Express.

 

     The State Procurement Office, The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, and The Hawaii Business League supported this bill.

 

     In light of concerns raised in testimony for this measure, your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Deleting an inaccurate assertion in the purpose section;

 

     (2)  Limiting the inclusion of the small purchase method of procurement within Hawaii Compliance Express to procurements of $2,500 or more under section 103D-305, Hawaii Revised Statutes;

 

     (3)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2112, to encourage further discussion; and

 

     (4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for style, clarity, and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization & Business that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 374, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 374, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Revitalization & Business,
