RE:    S.B. No. 2019

       S.D. 1

       H.D. 2

       C.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam and Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2019, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE MAXIMUM TERM OF COMMERCIAL USE AND OPERATOR PERMITS FOR THRILL CRAFT AND PARASAILING,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this measure is to:

 

     (1)  Change the five-year permit for commercial thrill craft and parasailing to a one-year permit;

 

     (2)  Remove the twenty-year limit for thrill craft and parasailing permits, and make those permits renewable annually; and

 

     (3)  Require the Department of Land and Natural Resources to offer for public auction permits that have been revoked for failure to meet the conditions for renewal.

 

     Your Committee on Conference finds that all other commercial use permits are issued on a year-to-year basis and are renewed annually, and this measure will bring permits for thrill craft and parasailing into conformity with other commercial permits.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Deleting the requirement to offer for public auction permits that have been revoked for failure to meet the conditions for renewal;

 

     (2)  Changing the effective date from July 1, 2020, to July 1, 2010; and

 

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2019, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2019, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

 

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
