beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of
Education and University of Hawaii to assess the criteria required
to establish an educational pipeline and curriculum to ensure that

Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure
from the University of Hawai’i System; Hawai’i Technology
Development Corporation; Hawaii Military Affairs Council; and one
individual. Your Committees received comments on this measure

reduce shipping and import costs and enhance delivery times if
implemented locally. Your Committees further find that
