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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Economic Development and Business
Concerns, to which was referred S.B. No. 2121, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO OBSOLETE LAWS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to repeal or make conforming
amendments to various statutes that have either been repealed by
implication, or by their own terms by operation of law, and are
now deemed to have accomplished their intended purpose.

     The National Federation of Independent Business and an
individual testified in support of the measure.  The Department
of Accounting and General Services testified in support of bill
as it pertains to the federal Revenue Maximization Revolving
Fund.  The Legislative Reference Bureau submitted comments on the
measure.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

     (1)  Removing the purpose section;

     (2)  Adding provisions of H.B. No. 2581 H.D. 1 that repeal
          unnecessary administrative rules;

     (3)  Adding provisions of H.B. No. 2582 H.D. 1 that expedite
          the repeal of obsolete or unauthorized administrative
          rules;

 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1290-00
                                 Page 2

 
     (4)  Adding provisions of H.B. No. 2587 H.D. 1 that repeal
          null and void administrative rules; and

     (5)  Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for clarity
          and style.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Economic Development and Business Concerns that is
attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the
intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2121, S.D. 1, as amended herein,
and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached
hereto as S.B. No. 2121, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be placed on the
calendar for Third Reading.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Economic
                                   Development and Business
                                   Concerns,
