Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No.
1029, H.D. 2, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PERMIT PROCESSING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to improve the consolidated
application process by:

     (1)  More specifically delineating the membership of the
          Permit Process Task Force (Task Force);

     (2)  Limiting the Task Force's examination of the state
          permit approval process rules to those pertaining to
          county building permit applications; and

     (3)  Establishing a June 30, 2002, sunset date for the Task
          Force.

     The Department of Business, Economic Development, and
Tourism testified in support of this bill.

     Your Committee has amended this bill to make technical,
nonsubstantive changes for style and clarity.
