                            RE:   H.B. No. 1622
                                  H.D. 1

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

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. 1622, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

    "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INTOXICATING LIQUOR,"

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 is to permit a liquor manufacturer
that holds a manufacturer's license not issued by this State to
hold an interest in a wholesale liquor license.

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:

     (1) Deleting its substance and instead allowing a brewer of
         beer to hold an indirect interest in a beer and wine
         wholesale dealer's license if the wholesaling is limited
         to beer; and

     (2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity
         and style.


 
                            CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 91
                            Page 2



     The amended bill allows a beer manufacturer to have an
indirect corporate relationship with a beer wholesaler.  It is
not your Conference Committee's intent to preclude the holder of
a non-beer class manufacturer's license from maintaining a
similar relationship with a wholesale dealer simply because the
relationship is not explicitly permitted by statute as it is for
a the holder of a beer-class manufacturer's license.

     Your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent
and purpose of H.B. No. 1622, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein,
and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached
hereto as H.B. No. 1622, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted,

MANAGERS ON THE PART OF THE        MANAGERS ON THE PART OF THE
