STAND. COM. REP. NO.2874

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2002

RE: H.B. No. 2514

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Health and Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 2514 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TATTOO ARTISTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to allow the Director of Health to deny the renewal of a tattoo artist license.

Your Committee received testimony favoring this measure from the Department of Health.

Your Committee finds that while the Director of Health may suspend, revoke, or deny a license of a tattoo artist, currently it is not explicitly clear whether the Department has the authority to deny a renewal of a license if the applicant does not meet the requirements of Chapter 17, Hawaii Administrative Rules. This measure provides clarity by allowing the Director to deny the renewal of a license when warranted.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health and Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2514, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection and Housing.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health and Human Services,

____________________________
