Sir:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives
in S.B. No. 809, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:  

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BOATING," 

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 allow a sole proprietor of a
catamaran operating with a valid commercial registration
certificate in Waikiki to transfer the ownership of the vessel to
corporate or other business ownership without terminating the
right to operate, with the existing commercial registration to be
reissued in a timely manner in the name of the new owner, and to
ensure that the registration shall not be denied or revoked
without a hearing held in accordance with Chapter 91, Hawaii
Revised Statutes (HRS).
