STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1206-08

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2008

 

RE:   S.B. No. 2169

      S.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Development & Business Concerns, to which was referred S.B. No. 2169, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LIQUOR LICENSES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to expand Hawaii's wholesale and retail liquor market by establishing a new class of liquor license for wineries.

 

     Wine The Experience testified in strong support of this measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that the new class of winery liquor license established by this bill is modeled on the brewpub license and will allow Hawaii's small businesses to market locally produced wines.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development & Business Concerns that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2169, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

 


 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development & Business Concerns,
