Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
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. 2469, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

    "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SUBPOENAS ISSUED BY THE
    DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS,"

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 measure, as received by your Committee
on Conference, is to allow the Director of Commerce and Consumer
Affairs to delegate subpoena authority to the deputy director.

     Your Committee on Conference acknowledges that placing such
authority solely with the deputy director may be limiting, and
therefore allows the director to delegate the authority to a
designee.

     After careful consideration, your Committee on Conference
has amended this bill by:

 
 
                            CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT NO.10
                            Page 2



     (1) Deleting reference to the deputy director; and 

     (2) Adding in the language, "or the director's designee" to
         give either the director or the director's designee the
         authority to subpoena witnesses.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your
Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your
Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose
of H.B. No. 2469, 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. 2469, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the managers:

  ON THE PART OF THE SENATE          ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
