STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1416-14
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2014
RE: H.C.R. No. 66
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2014
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 66 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE STATE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A SUNRISE REVIEW OF THE REGULATION OF VETERINARY TECHNICIANS AND THE PRACTICE OF VETERINARY TECHNOLOGY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The measure also requests the Auditor to submit findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the Legislature prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2015.
Senate Bill No. 2502, S.D. 1 (2014), proposes to establish requirements for the regulation of veterinary technicians and the practice of veterinary technology, which are currently unregulated. Your Committee believes that the establishment of registration requirements and regulations for veterinary technicians in Hawaii would improve the level of care of animals in the State.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 66 and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
