RE:   H.B. No. 318

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.B. No. 318 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to improve government efficiency by establishing an administrative rules review pilot program requiring the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) to:

 

     (1)  Determine which of its administrative rules should be repealed, amended, or replaced because they are obsolete, cumbersome, unnecessary, or overly restrictive; and

 

     (2)  Consider the feasibility of repealing any rule older than three years old.

 

     DCCA submitted comments on this bill.

 

     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 is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 318 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.


 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
