STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1062-06

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2006

RE: S.B. No. 3065

S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred S.B. No. 3065, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE ONE CALL CENTER ADVISORY COMMITTEE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to make the One Call Center Advisory Committee more representative of the major industries that it affects, by adding representatives of the water utility industry and wastewater industry to the committee, thus increasing committee membership from 15 to 17 persons.

The Public Utilities Commission, Consumer Advocate, Honolulu Board of Water Supply, and The Gas Company supported this bill.

Your Committee finds that the addition of members with expertise in the water utility industry and wastewater industry will allow the One Call Center Advisory Committee to better advise the Public Utilities Commission on locating underground utilities and other matters that will improve the administration of the One Call Center.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3065, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
