Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.B. No. 1099

       H.D. 2

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, to which was referred H.B. No. 1099, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO OUTDOOR ADVERTISING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to:

 

     (1)  Allow for timely replacement of a scoreboard at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium by authorizing the display of an outdoor advertising device at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium, subject to appropriate approval; provided that the scoreboard faces the stadium interior and is not visible from any thoroughfare; and

 

     (2)  Specify placement and size limitations for the outdoor advertising device at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from Outrigger Hotels & Resorts.

 

     Your Committee finds that the University of Hawaii's Rainbow Wahine soccer team currently plays at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium.  Your Committee further finds that the scoreboard at the stadium was found to be non-conforming by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.  This measure ensures that the University of Hawaii's Rainbow Wahine soccer team has access to a scoreboard that is compliant with National Collegiate Athletic Association requirements by authorizing a specific, limited outdoor advertising device that would allow for timely replacement of the non-conforming scoreboard.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by inserting an effective date of July 1, 2015.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1099, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1099, H.D. 2, S.D. 2.

 

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