Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate
in H.B. No. 160, S.D. 1, entitled:

    "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STATE AND COUNTY IMMUNITY FROM
    LIABILITY,"

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 bill, as received by your Committee, is
to amend the sunset date of Act 190, Session Laws of Hawaii 1996,
to June 30, 2001, and to provide that the Task Force on Beach and
Water Safety report its findings to the Legislature each Regular
Session.

     Your Committee finds that the Task Force on Beach and Water
Safety should be afforded additional time to complete its work on
the development of a comprehensive plan for warning of dangerous
natural conditions in the ocean adjacent to public beach parks.


 
 
 
                            CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 83
