COM. REP. NO. 347-20
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2020
RE: H.B. No. 2475
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirtieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2020
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 2475 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CARGO CARRIERS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee recognizes that it is costly for a cargo carrier to serve the residents and ports of the less populated Hawaiian Islands. This measure will authorize the Department of Transportation to provide subsidies to cargo carriers serving these Hawaii residents and ensure these residents continue to receive cargo, such as food and supplies, in a timely manner.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2475, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2475, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
