Senate Standing Committee on Government Operations

Okay.

Aloha, everybody. Welcome to the Committee on Government Operations. Getting a sharp start on it today. Hearing Today is April 15, 2025. That magical day, 3pm Convenient Conference Room 225, being streamed live on YouTube.

In the unlikely event that we have to abruptly end this hearing due to technical difficulties, the Committee will reconvene to discuss any outstanding business at 3:01pm Thursday, April 17, 2025. And room 225. And a public notice will be posted on the Legislature's website. Okay, we have only one reso HCR59, and the first up is DAGS.

Chair, Vice Chair Keith Regan, Comptroller for the State of Hawaii, Department of Accounting and General Services. We stand on our written testimony in support of this House Concurrent Resolution.

Okay, thank you so much. Appreciate it. That's all we have. An individual, Mr. Frank Schultz, who also weighed in and testified in support. That's all we have. I don't see anybody else in the audience. And nobody in the world of Zoom. Correct. So I guess that's a no. Any questions of Dan?

If not, we're going to recess till we get quorum for hopefully for decision making.

Recess. Okay.

Welcome back to the Committee on Government Operations for decision making. 1 RESO HCR 59 requesting DAGS to study the feasibility of limiting the cost of project and construction management in each construction project to 10% of the total cost of the project. We received testimony and support from dags.

This is an issue of discussion in a bill as well. So with that, I'd like to keep it going and have it adopted so we can keep this issue on the forefront. Remember, so it'll be as is. Members, questions, comment. If not, Vice Chair, HCR 59 as is.

[Roll call]

Okay, thank you very much. This concludes the hearing.
