     The Department of the Attorney General, Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, University of Hawaii Professional Assembly, Aloha Society of Association Executives, Hawaii Association of Independent Schools, and Hawaii Alliance of Nonprofit Organizations supported this bill.

 

     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 Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 878, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 878, H.D. 1.
