STAND. COM. REP. NO.2691

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2002

RE: S.B. No. 3017

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Tourism and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 3017 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE USE OF SYMBOLS AND TRADEMARKS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Legislative Reference Bureau to review the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau warrior marker program.

Testimony in opposition to this measure was submitted by the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA).

Your Committee finds that while the HTA has indicated it has additional information as requested by this measure, it would be more appropriate for a neutral party to conduct a thorough review of the warrior market program.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism and Intergovernmental Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3017 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Tourism and Intergovernmental Affairs,

____________________________
