                                 RE: S.B. No. 3051
                                     S.D. 2




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Economic Development and Business
Concerns, to which was referred S.B. No. 3051, S.D. 2, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LIQUOR EXPORT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to clarify that Hawaii law
allows local wine, spirit, and champagne producers to export
their products.

     Your Committee notes that at least one local winery believed
that it was not allowed to export its products.  Your Committee
finds that Hawaii law should not be interpreted to prevent the
exportation of local liquor, including wines, out of state.

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by
Volcano Winery.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Economic Development and Business Concerns that is
attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the
intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3051, S.D. 2, and recommends that
it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on
Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.
