STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1113

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2009

 

RE:   S.B. No. 936

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Health, to which was referred S.B. No. 936 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CERTIFICATES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to repeal the requirement for the Department of Health (DOH) to issue a sanitation certificate to qualify for a county business license for the operation of a lodging or tenement house, group home, group residence, group living arrangement, hotel, or boarding house.  County business licenses are no longer issued for such businesses so the requirement for a sanitation certificate is not necessary.

 

     DOH and a concerned individual supported this bill.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 936 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 Health,
