Sir:

Your Committee on Labor and Public Employment, to which was referred S.B. No. 2895, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PEST CONTROL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to require a pest control operator to obtain and maintain continuous workers' compensation and liability insurance coverage as a condition of licensure under chapter 460J, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

The Pest Control Board (Board) and Hawaii Pest Control Association supported this bill.

After careful consideration, your Committee has amended this bill by deleting its substance, and inserting the provisions of House Bill No. 2420, House Draft 1, a measure previously reported from your Committee.

As amended, House Bill No. 2420, House Draft 1, is substantively the same as Senate Bill No. 2895, Senate Draft 1 except for technical, nonsubstantive differences relating to clarity, consistency, and style.

 

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor and Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2895, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2895, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection and Commerce.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor and Public Employment,
