Sirs:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 873, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONTESTED CASES,"
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 authorize contested case hearings to be conducted via the use of interactive conference technology.
Your Committee on Conference finds that contested case hearings can be conducted by using interactive conference technology, which is already being utilized for public meetings in accordance with section 92-3.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes. Your Committee on Conference further finds that allowing contested case hearings to be conducted by interactive conference technology will improve efficiency without compromising effectiveness.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by making it effective on October 1, 2021.
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. 873, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 873, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
