STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2542

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2116

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 2116, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION OF COUNTY AGENCIES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to facilitate the process by which the Department of Education obtains approval for the State to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless a county agency, its officers, agents, and employees for public school purposes and functions on county facilities.

 

     Your Committee finds that public schools frequently use county parks and other facilities for school functions, and the current requirement that the schools obtain the consent from the Governor for such purposes is unnecessarily burdensome, especially for school purposes and functions that occur repeatedly throughout the school year.  Your Committee finds the approval process that the Department of Education is required to complete several times every year for the same activities under existing law is streamlined by this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive stylistic changes for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2116, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2116, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations,
