FC-1.77 Page 2 July 23, 2024 <br />Ms. Kimball commented in support of this matter and thanked. Ms. Kagiwada and Galimba for bringing <br />it forward. <br />Committee Member Holeka Goro Inaba commented on some of the language changes and asked if <br />removing the word "exclusively" is necessary. Mr. Inaba asked Ms. Miura her thoughts on the matter. <br />Ms. Miura believed that the removal of the word "exclusively" was due to other language in the bill that <br />could conflict with the intent of the bill. Mr. Inaba expressed that his interpretation of this section did <br />not feel like it merited the change. Ms. Miura advised that a common problem that the administration <br />and departments encounter is the interpretation of the Code and how a person could interpret the Code <br />differently than the author's original intent. Mr. Inaba asked for some clarification from Ms. Strance as <br />he was concerned that the unnecessary removal of the word could be problematic. Ms. Strance could not <br />answer immediately and requested time to review this matter. <br />Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 1.74, and recommends <br />its passage on first reading. <br />1kh <br />AYES <br />NOES <br />ABS <br />EX <br />EVANS <br />X <br />GALIMBA <br />X <br />INABA <br />X <br />KAGIWADA <br />X <br />KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER <br />X <br />KIERKIEWICZ <br />X <br />KIMBALL <br />X <br />LEE LOY <br />X <br />VILLEGAS <br />X <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br />MATT KANEAILI`I-KLEINFELDER, <br />REPORT NO.: 177 <br />ADOPTED: AUG 77 2024 <br />
