RE:   S.B. No. 319

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Energy & Environmental Protection and Ocean, Marine Resources, & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 319 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THRILL CRAFT,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow the use of thrill craft to conduct ocean cleanup as authorized by the rules of the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

 

     The Department of Land and Natural Resources testified in support of this measure.

 

     Your Committees have amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Amending the effective date of Act 89, Session Laws of Hawaii 2009, that provides two versions of section 200-37(c), Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to the use of thrill crafts, to ensure that the transition from the first version into the second version does not leave a temporal gap in the regulation of thrill crafts; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 


     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Energy & Environmental Protection and Ocean, Marine Resources, & Hawaiian Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 319, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 319, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Energy & Environmental Protection and Ocean, Marine Resources, & Hawaiian Affairs,
