Bill 171, introduced to require a fiscal impact statement prepared by the finance director for council bills that have fiscal implications, was discussed July 22. Council member Onishi moved to postpone the bill to a later committee date to give the finance director and departments time to address technical 'kinks' in the draft; the motion set the new hearing for Sept. 15 and the clerk confirmed the meeting location as Hilo.
Onishi said the postponement would allow staff to work through operational details with the finance director and departmental leads. The committee voted to postpone the bill, and the clerk announced nine members in favor.
