Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No.
1162, H.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SAFETY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to:

     (1)  Correct errors in the Boiler and Elevator Safety Law;

     (2)  Increase the penalty for violating a safety order as a
          deterrent for operating regulated equipment in an
          unsafe manner or in violation of boiler and elevator
          rules; and

     (3)  Ensure that the Boiler and Elevator Safety Revolving
          Fund will continue to be exempt from central service
          expenses under section 36-27, Hawaii Revised Statutes,
          to maintain fees at existing levels.

     The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations submitted
testimony in support of this measure.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical,
nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity and style.
