STAND. COM. REP. NO. 769

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 687

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 687, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PROCUREMENT,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to enact the responsible construction contractor law for public works contracts and for the procurement of construction.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting its contents and inserting Senate Bill No. 1036 (2009), relating to elections procurement, which your Committee deferred at a public decision making meeting on March 2, 2009, in favor of insertion into this measure, leaving the defective effective date intact.

 

     As amended, this measure pertains to all procurements, rather than only elections procurement, and clarifies the Hawaii Public Procurement Code to:

 

     (1)  Require a final decision to be issued within thirty days of the receipt of the request for hearing;

 

     (2)  Require a judicial decision within thirty days of the filing of the application for judicial review; and

 

     (3)  Impose, in either an administrative hearing or a judicial review, a thirty-day limit for resolution, which if not met will result in the loss of jurisdiction and the award not being disturbed.

 

     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. 687, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 687, S.D. 2.

 

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