STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3335

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.B. No. 1874

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1874 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO VOG,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate to appoint any legislator within their respective houses, whose district is impacted by vog, to the Interagency Task Force on Vog.

 

     Your Committee finds that expanding the membership of the Interagency Task Force on Vog will ensure that all senators and representatives of districts affected by vog may participate in the task force to recommend measures and strategies to mitigate the effects of vog.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1874, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
