What does this bill do?
The bill creates a University of Hawaii Conference Center Revolving Fund to centralize fees and accounts for conference programs across the UH system and lets the university collect charges to cover conference costs. It allows the university to spend those funds for conference expenses—like honoraria, room rental, food, travel, and AV equipment—without following state competitive bidding rules. The bill repeals separate UH Hilo and community college conference funds, moves their remaining money into the new fund, and requires the university to report each account’s income and spending to the Legislature.

Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1169, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII CONFERENCE CENTER REVOLVING FUND,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to establish the university of Hawaii conference center revolving fund and repeal two existing conference center funds.

Your Committee has amended this measure by
(1) Clarifying the permissible uses of moneys appropriated from the university of Hawaii conference center revolving fund; and
(2) Making technical nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B.

Sir:
Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 1169, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII CONFERENCE CENTER REVOLVING FUND,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to:
(1) Establish the University of Hawaii Conference Center Revolving Fund to facilitate the administration of the revolving fund for conference center programs among various campuses and operating units of the University of Hawaii System;
(2) Repeal the Conference Center Revolving Fund and the University of Hawaii at Hilo and the Community College Conference Center Revolving Fund;
(3) Lapse all appropriations and encumbrances of the Conference Center Revolving Fund and the University of Hawaii at Hilo and the Community College Conference Center Revolving Fund to the University of Hawaii Conference Center Revolving Fund; and
(4) Appropriate funds out of the University of Hawaii Conference Center Revolving Fund.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the University of Hawaiʻi System.
Your Committee finds that creating a single University of Hawaii Conference Center Revolving Fund, with each campus having an account in the overarching fund, would allow all campuses to standardize conference center programs across all campuses while eliminating redundant provisions. Your Committee further finds that structuring the University of Hawaii Conference Center Revolving Fund in this manner would make it consistent with other existing University of Hawaii funds, including the Tuition and Fees Special Fund.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Making it effective upon its approval; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B.
