RE: H.B. No. 1004

H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1004, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE BOILER AND ELEVATOR SAFETY LAW,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to:

(1) Allow the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to prohibit the operation of pressure retaining items, amusement rides, and elevators and kindred equipment if fees and fines are not timely paid; and

(2) Require the Director of Labor and Industrial Relations to establish the boiler and elevator fee schedule by rule, rather than setting the fees in statute.

Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1004, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
