                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1150
                                        S.D. 2




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. 1150, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SAFETY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to raise the civil penalties for
boiler and elevator safety law violations from $1,000 to $10,000.

     Furthermore, this bill clarifies that amusement rides are
subject to the boiler and elevator safety law, and that the
boiler and elevator safety revolving fund must still share in
central services expenses after June 30, 2000.

     Your Committee finds that a higher penalty is necessary to
deter safety violations concerning boilers, elevators, and
kindred equipment such as amusement rides.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making further
technical, nonsubstantive, and clarifying amendments.

     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 intent and purpose of S.B. No.
1150, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass
Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1150,
S.D. 2.
