RE:   H.B. No. 2283

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 2283 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TATTOO ARTISTS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to facilitate the implementation of the first tattoo convention in Hawaii by allowing the Department of Health (DOH) to issue temporary certificates of registration, under certain conditions, to tattoo artists not licensed in the State for educational, trade show, or product demonstration purposes only.

 

     A concerned individual supported this bill.  DOH opposed this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2283 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

 

 

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