                                   RE:  S.B. No. 425
                                        S.D. 1




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 425 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FEES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this short form bill is to amend the laws
relating to fees.

     Your Committee has amended the measure by deleting its
substance and inserting therefor, provisions that raise various
fees charged by state government agencies.  These potential fee
increases were identified as possible revenue sources during the
1998 legislative session.

     Specifically, the measure:

     (1)  Establishes a fee for parking and camping at state
          parks;

     (2)  Authorizes the Department of Taxation to impose fees on
          delinquent tax accounts;

     (3)  Establishes a Delinquent Returns Special Fund to be
          administered by the Department of Taxation;

     (4)  Establishes fees for daily school bus transportation;

                                   Page 2


     (5)  Establishes fees for students participating in school
          athletic activities;

     (6)  Raises the cost of a fishing license to $5;

     (7)  Raises moorage fees;

     (8)  Establishes fees for students participating in after
          school and weekend activities; and

     (9)  Makes adult education programs self-sufficient.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the action to report out S.B.
No. 425, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second
Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 425, S.D. 1, and
be recommitted to the Committee on Ways and Means for further
consideration.

                                 Respectfully submitted on behalf
                                 of the members of the Committee
                                 on Ways and Means,



                                 ________________________________
                                 CAROL FUKUNAGA, Co-Chair
