STAND. COM. REP. 571
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2003
RE: H.B. No. 899
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 899 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FIREWORKS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of the bill is to decrease the fireworks permit fee from $25 to $10.
T.H.Y. & Associates, Inc., and a concerned individual testified in support of this bill.
Your Committee finds that the present fee for a fireworks permit is extraordinarily high and only serves to punish fireworks users. Reducing the fee would bring it down to a more reasonable level.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 899 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
____________________________ ERIC G. HAMAKAWA, Chair |
