STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3488

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.C.R. No. 110

       H.D. 2

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2014

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 110, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM TO ESTABLISH A WORKING GROUP TO RECOMMEND LEGISLATION OR CHANGES TO ADMINISTRATIVE RULES TO DEVELOP CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS BETWEEN THE STATE AND WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICE PROVIDERS AS TO THE USE OF PUBLIC LANDS FOR WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the Director of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to establish a working group to develop standard contractual provisions for the use of state public lands for wireless telecommunication hardware devices.

 

     This measure also requests the working group to explore ways to expedite the permit process for communication technology serving the State.

 

     Your Committee received no written comments on this measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that state agencies independently establish and develop protocols for the use of wireless telecommunication services, resulting in ambiguous and disparate contracts.  Establishing a working group to establish a predefined framework for wireless telecommunication service provider contracts will increase government efficiency, establish revenue predictability for the State, reduce risk for all parties, and promote business.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 110, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
